A fun loving free spirit, Joanne was the life of the party, singing into her fake microphone and dancing with anyone who could keep up with her. She brought joy and happiness into the lives of everyone she met. She will be remembered for her great sense of humor, love of music and her appreciation of the simple joy of life. Joanne will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved her.
