I remember Jo-Anne from our days as students at Marian College (now University) in Indianapolis. She was a lovely person with a beautiful voice. Now she sings with the angels. With sympathy and prayers.

Loved Joanne. She was always ful of "life"
Did not know her on a personal level but everthing I did know about her, leadership, the art fair, her music and her vast education were superb qualities. I am certain she will be missed.
I only knew Joanne for a short time (1 month). I did a few odd jobs around her lovely home. I just wish I was around that day. She was such a sweet lady, I will miss her stories about her family. Joanne was so looking forward in going to Chicago to celebrate her birthday with a granddaughter who had the same birthday!! It was really nice to know you Joanne!! Sending condolences to her family with a sad heart. ❤️ Bill Andrews
For such a tiny gal, she had the biggest personality!
We are so blessed to have known her. She would call and “talk me into” joining groups that have made my life richer. I never could say no to her. I’m happy for that. She definitely has a place in my heart that holds memories of people that have touched it. ♥️

A lovely woman who always had a smile on her face and a beautiful song in her heart.
Jo-Anne was my cousin & my late Dad Walter's favorite niece. He loved teasing her & her daughters - Anne, Kathy & Mary - the "Hoosier Branch" of the family. She had a magnificent voice, and I think she sang for one of the Popes; when she sang Ave Maria at my Dad's funeral, there wasn't a dry eye in the Church; sing on in Heaven, Jo-Anne
Jo-Anne is at peace singing among the angels. Sending heartfelt condolences to her loving children. May her family be comforted with the many wonderful memories they made together. She was a champion of promoting the love of music...a positive lady who enjoyed life in every way! Love 'n' Hugs, Ellen Zaccardelli
What a dynamic women she was. Vivacious, always smiling, so full of life. I will miss her dearly. I'll never forget you.
