JoAnn Lois Love

February 5, 1943 – November 6, 2016

JoAnn Lois Love passed in peace Nov. 6, 2016 at the age of 73 in the comfort of her home. She courageously fought pancreatic cancer for the last three months, never losing her spirit or faith.

JoAnn was born Feb. 5, 1943 in Beach, N.D. She went to college and pursued her career in nursing. She later moved to Washington, where she met and married her husband of 50 years, Robert Love, and raised their three children. She always had a smile on her face and the best attitude and outlook on life. She enjoyed baking, doing her puzzles and spending time with the family.

JoAnn is preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Grace Dietz; her brothers Robert and Jim and her sister, Myrtle and Marcela (Sal). She is survived by her loving husband Robert; her three children Ron Terri and Dave and her seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one on the way. She is also survived by her siblings Richard, John, Edward “Bert”, Doris, Eleanor “Toots” and Marg.

JoAnn was never one for big crowds, therefore her wish is for a small “till I see you again” service, which will be held Monday, Nov. 14, 2016 at 11 a.m. at Sunset Memorial Gardens, Warden, Wash.
