Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this heartbreaking time. Joann has always been special to the Conn family. Her sweet smile and kindness was the epitome of a gentle southern lady. May the love and peace of God bring comfort. And may she rest in God’s peace for eternity.

Crit, Heather and Robyn, although I will not be with you on Sunday, I will be there in spirit. As I mourn and celebrate the life of my dearest friend Joe Ann, I am so thankful that she left me with so many wonderful memories. We could talk about anything, laugh at the oddest things and just lift each other up during difficult times. I will miss our phone calls and our friendship which was a once in a lifetime experience. I thank God that we crossed paths during our Florida days. Love and prayers, Edith.
Robin— I’m so sorry for your loss. I only met your Mom a couple of times, but found her to be delightful. Her stories about the decorator and the lawn guy were told with such detail and energy. I couldn’t help but smile, and she definitely enjoyed the dollhouse museum. You’ve been a kind and attentive daughter. Wishing you many hugs and love as you bid her farewell.
Love, Carolyn
So sorry to hear about Joe Ann! Joe Ann was was such a beautiful lady inside and out! Mable and I send our condolences to Crit, Heather and Robyn! We wii keep you in our payers!
I am so deeply sorry Joann has left to be with our Lord. She is one of the kindest most dignified ladies I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. I like to think she is laughing in heaven with my Dad, Mom and sister Mary, but missing her in this life leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled until we all see her again. Crit and Joann always held a special place in my heart since childhood. Crit, Joanne, Heather and Robin have always been so special to the entire Conn family. I’m so proud to call my cousins family, there are none better. I’m sorry my health did not let me attend the gathering. May God bless and comfort you all during this sad time.
