I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Growinging up I felt like JoAnn was my second mom. Her smile brightened the room and her voice warmed my heart. I always loved to hear her sing. Your family was so special to me, JoAnn being a remarkable mother and wife. I was so shocked to hear the news of JoAnn's passing and wished it was just a bad dream. Shan, John and Butch, Be strong for each other and if there is anything I can do please let me know. Thinking of you guys always!

So very sad to hear of JoAnn's passing. Such a shock. She was always such a joy to be around! Met JoAnn and Butch in Cape Coral, FL where they stayed at a vacation home where I lived - and it was a true blessing to have met them. Butch, so sorry for your loss. My prayers, sympathy and love to you and your families always.

Butch and Family,
| am deeply saddened to just learn the news of JoAnn's passing. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to your family. JoAnn's strength and courage was a testament to the kind of person she was to friends and most importantly to her family. I fondly remember the fun times we spent together on the baseball diamond, never knowing what the night's aura would prevail. JoAnn's infectious kindness and smile will always stay with me. Taken far to soon.
Fondly, Lynn

I am so very sorry to hear of JoAnn's passing. My heartfelt condolences to Butch and Family. JoAnn was my first childhood friend after moving to Toronto in 1958 and a good friend she was, I have fond memories of those days. We lost touch over the years and reunited again in our late teens for a period of time....again a wonderful experience to see her beautiful face and welcoming smile and know how happy she was with Butch. Those who held her dear were very fortunate to have such a wonderful lady in their lives. My thoughts are with you during this sad time.

Dear Butch,
I am deeply sadden to hear about JoAnn's passing. Not only did we have a lot of good laughs playing baseball together in Richmond Hill for many years but she was such an inspiration to me when I had my own diagnosis of breast cancer in 2006. She had such a positive and courageous attitude that it gave me a lot of confidence that I would recover. More than that, JoAnn was a very special person and she showed me for years how to have a positive outlook on life. I will fondly remember the Poole Party baseball team trips to your cottage on Balsam Lake, the aqua Olympic games, my one and only time on (and off!) a ski-doo and attending my first bass fishing derby! I will think of JoAnn often and enjoy many, many chuckles. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Fondly,
Catriona King

I am very saddened to hear of Joann's passing. I had the pleasure to work with her and the many Lennox connections in YRDSB. Her strong family connection was clearly evident and she spoke with such pride about her family and siblings. She will be greatly missed and my thoughts are with your family.

We were so sorry to hear of JoAnn's passing. We met JoAnn when she started playing ball in the Richmond Hill Ladies Slo-Pitch League. We have great memories of good times spent at the games, end of year tournaments, and dances. JoAnn was always so much fun and such a good sport.
Butch, our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

My sincere condolences go out to JoAnn's family and loved ones. I remember JoAnn from our days at the YRDSB office in Aurora. She was a very concientious worker whose common sense approach, to the many challenges we had to deal with, was very refreshing.
She always had a smile for me and the photo above is just how I remember her. I also enjoyed her sharp wit. I know that she will be very sadly missed.

JoAnn & I met when we were both Girl Guide leaders in Richmond Hill in the mid '70's. When 2nd Richvale Brownies was busting at the seams, JoAnn was the first to step up and help me form 3rd Richvale Brownies. Together we spent many years and countless hours of fun with our Brownies. JoAnn was always up for fun, especially at camps. Butch and JoAnn became good friends socially and we enjoyed their company each time we got together. After we both moved from Richmond Hill, we lost touch for many years, but thanks to FB, we reconnected last year and enjoyed a brief reunion in the fall. We kept in touch over the winter with our daily dose of Words with Friends. Sadly time ran out for us to spend more time together. Rest in Peace dear Friend.
