JoAnn was a long-time member of the Duluth Heights Garden Club which tended to the planning and planting of flower beds at Pennell Park at the intersection of Central Entrance and Arlington Ave. JoAnn took great pride in gardening and had an extra large garden of her own on her and her husband's beautiful countryside farm in Hermantown. Over the years JoAnn cared for many animals on the farm, which was one of her true passions. JoAnn was a great cook and had many visitors for coffee and snacks and she loved to talk.
