Mary, or JoAnn as her close friends and family often called her, graduated from Mohawk High School in 1952, then married her “Eddie” on July 10th.
She spent her time raising their children at home until they were in school. After the children were off to school, JoAnn passed her time cleaning for others and gardening.
She was an active member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Upper Sandusky.
Upon Eddie’s passing, she went on to work at Guardian Industries until her retirement in 1993. Retirement did not slow JoAnn down.
She loved traveling to new places, watching grandchildren and great grandchildren’s sporting events and extracurricular activities, enjoying meals and happy hour with others, flower gardening, painting, and spending any free time on her front porch with loved ones.
