Her life was a living testimony of her Christian faith. She loved family gatherings, reading, doing craft projects, and painting. She also loved spending time with her husband Jerry of 54 years, whether it was taking walks, eating out at KFC or one of their other favorite spots, feeding the ducks, or just hanging out at home, they truly had a storybook love and honored each other and their marriage vows. Joanne spent many years working outside the home, from being a Teacher’s Aide, a Buehler’s Bakery worker to working in Domestics at Wal-Mart. She was a people person and it really showed in her work.
Preceding her in death are her parents, Arthur and Zola Stevens, Sister Beryl Null and Brother Skip Stevens.
