Joanne met Larry at their camping club. They enjoyed endless time traveling across the country. This was truly one of their biggest passions together and made countless memories.

Joanne was an avid seamstress even while working. She could sew just about anything from her daughter and daughter-in-law’s wedding dresses to all of the wedding party dresses. She also did this for friends and family. Joanne could upholster furniture, make curtains, grandchildren’s clothing, and did it all with love. She made many crazy quilts and Halloween costumes as well.

Joanne loved her family, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with all her heart as well as her nieces and nephews. Family truly meant everything to her.
