JoAnn M Schwagel (Sekora) "Mama Jo"

    
She has been married to her husband, Don for 45 years and together raised a combined family of five children; fourteen grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. JoAnn helped raise many daycare children who referred to her lovingly as "Mama Jo". She raised her children and the daycare families as an entire family; growing up together, side-by-side with love and kindness. JoAnn lived her entire life with true dignity and grace. She walked through life with pride in herself, in her appearance, and in her environment! JoAnn will be dearly missed and never forgotten. She will live on forever in each person that she touched with her love, compassion, and kindness!

JoAnn was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Sekora and Victoria Raboin; her siblings, Shirley, Beverly, Bonnie, Victor and Doris; beloved sister-in-law, Jean; and other family and friends.
