Her entire professional career was spent at Boeing in the aerospace engineering department as an administrative assistant. JoAnn never had any children and returned to Creston two years ago to be closer to her family. JoAnn will be remembered by her family and friends as always being a glamorous and classy lady.

Preceding JoAnn in death were her parents and her first two husbands, Gary and Jim.
