Today is the day that we say our 'worldly' goodbye to our Beautiful Aunt Joann/Jo Jo/Mom/Gram/ GammaGamma…Just remember, she ain't going anywhere!!! We will always and forever keep her memory alive through each other and the stories of all the adventures we've shared! She made this life happier and certainly a more interesting journey, touching so many lives along the way 💕💕💕
Today we celebrate in gratitude not only an extremely well lived life but also our lives being made so much better just by knowing her 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE YOU ALL!!! ❤️❤️❤️
JoAnn was a beautiful and powerful woman! She will be missed by so many.
Joann was my partner room mate during out tour in the Ukraine 2005. She was such a wonderful help during my hart failures during the trip. I loved her and we along with Muriel Kissie had great fun together. So sorry for her families loss.
So very sad to hear she definitely was a ray of sunshine! She will be deeply missed!
Please accept my condolences on the passing of a good friend of mine. May her Creator give her peace, joy and a share in His glory. Joann's grandfather, Max Erker, owned a farm 5 miles from the farm near Selfridge, North Dakota, where I grew up. Her uncle, Max, and my father, Joe Becker, were best friends. My memories of Joann are all pleasant memories of a lady who thoroughly enjoyed life. Joann and I were traveling companions on a tour in 2005 to Krasna (now Krasnoe), where our ancestors are from. We often talked on the telephone about the trip. She was an awesome companion. Peace to you!
This sweet woman was kind, generous with compliments, grounded spiritually, a good friend to my Aunt and loved by my cousin, John. My life was positively impacted because of our relationship. My heartfelt care and sympathies to her daughters and their families. She adored you all!

So sorry for your loss our prayers go out to you and your family
With true loving sympathies, Sharyn
