JoAnne Fabriguze Moulton
JoAnne Fabriguze Moulton, 68, of Winnie, died Sunday, December 28, 2025. She was born on November 13, 1957, in Winshire, to Henrietta and Duncan Fabriguze.
JoAnne was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend whose life was defined by joy, creativity, and deep devotion to her family. She had a heart for the simple pleasures—quiet mornings watching the sunrise, tending to her flowers, and spending time outdoors. With a true green thumb, she found happiness in growing beautiful things and sharing that beauty with others.
JoAnne loved fishing, baking, and crafting, always keeping her hands busy and her home welcoming. She had a special talent for party planning and took great pride in bringing people together, making every gathering feel meaningful and fun. Family game nights were a favorite, filled with laughter, friendly competition, and memories that will be cherished forever.
A die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan through every win, loss, or draw, JoAnne’s loyalty never wavered. Her passion, enthusiasm, and spirit were infectious.
Above all else, JoAnne adored her grandchildren. She spoiled them endlessly and loved them fiercely, leaving each of them with a lifetime of love, comfort, and unforgettable moments.
Survivors include her husband, Johnny Moulton of Winnie; daughter, Mandy Cheak and her husband, Jeff of Lexington, Kentucky; son, Shawn Smithhart and his wife, Crystal of Roseville, Michigan; step-son, John Robert Clayton of Sherwood, Arkansas; grandchildren, McKenzie, Brittany, Skylar, Madison, Destiny, and Milo; great-grandchildren, Luke, Melody, and Maxine; numerous nieces and nephews; brother, Donald Fabriguze and his wife Leslie of Mauriceville; sister, Salena Gilpin of Winnie; and mother, Henrietta Ann Fabriguze of Hamshire.

Joanne I can only imagine the reunion with your dad, brother, sister and your grandmother when you got to the Pearly Gates. You always told me about the great big bear hugs my brother, Joe David, would give you when he saw you and you missed them after he passed. I know you got that big bear hug when you walked in to heaven. Our last conversation was about your beautiful little Christmas tree💗 You will be so missed but you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. May God surround the family and friends with his loving and comforting arms.
Always so kind to me. So sad to hear this news. Sending love and hugs to the rest of the family❤️
