September 2, 1934 to April 13, 2018
Joan (“JoAnne”) Gallagher, 83, formerly of Barnesville, Ohio, passed away Friday, April 13, 2018, at the Springs in Sarasota, FL.
She was born on September 2, 1934 in Barnesville, to Lester and Myrtle Huntsman. Joan was preceded in death by her husband Francis (Fizz) of 57 years; three brothers Francis, Roger, and Delbert; and three sisters Lena Hannahs, Ruby Hannahs, and Melba Swallie.
Joan is survived by her son Greg and wife Karen; two Grandchildren, Tricia Gallagher, Andrea (Chad) Myers; and three Great-Grandchildren, Reese (Tran) Gallagher, Dominic Myers, and Allie Myers; all residing near Sarasota, FL. She has many beloved nephews and nieces.
“Joy” is a good description of our mother’s life; she had many friends in both Ohio and Florida. She loved dancing, golfing, swimming, and was often the “life” of the party. She was a member of the Catholic Church since her marriage to Fizz in 1952.
A future memorial (TBD) will be held in Barnesville sometime this summer.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Salvation Army.
