After high school, Joanne attended beauty school and worked as a hair dresser before taking a pause to raise her children. In 1973 the family moved to Michigan where she spent the rest of her life in her beautiful home in Fenton. Over the years Joanne worked various jobs before returning to hair dressing where she worked for several years before retiring for good in the late 1990s. Joanne was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother who always wanted to help others.
