Joanna held a membership with Dora Christian Church in Lagro, Indiana. She was also a member of Dora Ladies Group.
Joanna is remembered for her willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need. She was always there for you when you needed her. Time and time again she would put everyone else before herself.
