I am so sad. We taught at Trinity Day School many years ago. She was so kind to her students and always had a smile on her face. We will miss her.
I was so saddened to see this. I taught with Jo Ann so many years ago at Trinity. She was an excellent and loving teacher to her little people. And so much fun to be around. Prayers of peace for her loved ones.
Joanne was the most friendly and pleasant client and friend to work with in over 30 years – I will miss her, every time we spoke I had a better day.
Such a classy lady and I will miss doing her hair for sure.Praying for the family.God bless❤️
My love and sympathy to Joanne’s family. I was a friend of her mother, Mary Alice Debney. When the Debney girls were around, there was so much fun and joy. Joanne will be missed by many. Psalm 116:15 says: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Heavens bells are ringing for Joanne, and there is so much more to come! To GOD be all glory!
Enjoyed working with Joanne so much! She was definitely a light at Gist! I always loved her talks of Andrew, Jenny & Stephen!
I am so sorry to learn of “Mrs. Lane’s” passing. She was Abby’s first preschool teacher at Trinity all of those years ago….what a doll! I will always remember this beautiful lady with the huge smile and most outgoing personality! Hugs to her family.
What a beautiful lady inside and out. I will miss her smile and just our chats. Jesus has gained a very special Angel my friend.
