Joaun was born July 14, 1938 in Mayo, Florida, the daughter of the late Belford and Loree Jackson. She graduated from Lake City High School in 1956 and went on to a long career at IBM in Florida and Virginia.
She was the widow of Robert Harris, who she was married to for 24 years. She was previously married to Cealwyn Stewart and they had 5 children together, who all survive her.
Mom was a wonderful mother who loved her children forever. They are Denise, Wayne (Kathy), Brent (Becky), Scott and Brian (Laura). She was the grandmother of nine: Jimmy, Rachel, Holly Charlene, Steven Robert, Stephen Wayne, Michael, Trace, Trent and one who predeceased her, Michael Shaun. She's also the great-grandmother of Liam and Cameron.
Joaun had four siblings, two who survive her: Lynn and Randall, and two who died before their time, Wayne and Stacy. She also had many cousins, many who survive her. Her best friend in this lifetime was Tommie, her aunt that was close to her age. One of the loved ones she's surely spending time with now is Aunt Tommie.
She enjoyed her retiree years volunteering at University Community (Tampa) and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. She loved to read and got to do a lot of it after she raised her kids. She enjoyed her family most of all, who all meant the world to her. So did her dog, Trouble, who was always at her side, as Boomer was before that.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Culley's MeadowWood Funeral Home, 700 Timberlane Road, Tallahassee, Florida at 2pm on January 8, 2019.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF.org), a charity close to her heart.
