Auntie Joanie was the best. She was a tremendous help when I opened my restaurant. Joanie was a hard worker and a professional in every sense. She shared her lifetime of wisdom without expectations.
Joanie was proud to be a wife, mother and grandmother. I know she loved her family because of the way her eyes lit up each time she spoke of them.
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family on the loss of Joan. Joan was such a lovely person and always a smile on her face from what I remember being one of the neighborhood kids when playing over by your house.
