I was in Jo Ann’s Water Aerobics class at the Meadville YMCA. What a kind, caring lady! She enjoyed life. My sincere sympathy to those who will miss her.
We will always have very fond memories of Keith and Joann with their dedication to the Union City Class of ’62. They hosted the group numerous times, attended every function possible and cared deeply for the group. Their absence has left a hole and we will always remember them fondly. To their family-they loved you deeply and you have done an excellent job of doing what you could in their final days. Not every family can say this. God bless you all.
Dear Family of JoAnn and Keith. We have never met in person. I am one of your cousins from Corry, Pa. JoAnn and my brother became great friends while working on the family tree. We shared many wonderful memories involving the family reunions. My heart hurts for your family, but we will see her and your Dad again when Jesus calls us home. I fully expect JoAnn to be explaining who and how we are related to all the old folks in heaven.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. It is so hard losing a loved one, especially so soon after losing Keith. If there’s anything we can do please don’t hesitate to call.
I’m way late for leaving my condolences for Jo Ann. I knew her through her husband Keith who had passed on earlier with the same cancer as my husband had. She and I had something in common, we were both cake decorators and Keith and I were also bakers. You will be remembered for sure.,
