Joanna’s greatest joy was being an aunt, great-aunt and great-great aunt. She bragged to anyone who would listen about the visits with her nieces and nephews and telling updates about their lives, accomplishments and additions of children to their families. She enjoyed the benefits of Facebook so it was easier to keep up with the nephews and nieces that did not live locally and who she was not able to physically visit. Aunt Joanna was beloved by her nieces and nephews and during her life she was generous and desired to give them experiences and memories to last their lifetime.
