JoAnn brought a lot of enthusiasm for teaching and concern for her students. Her sense of humor was always refreshing. She brought the love of gardening to many of her students.

I haven't seen cousin JoAnn, in I don't know how many years, but the memories of her come back to me like it was just yesterday. I will never forget visiting her down the shore, being scared to walk up her spiral staircase, eating freshly caught clams with spaghetti and most of all her love for snoopy. you could tell she was a happy person just by the way she made you feel. looking back, I admire her for all that she has done and for who she is, her complete self. my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family as these times come to pass. I know she will be truly missed but I know she loves on in all the hearts she has touched. love you JoAnn.

To Paula, Thomas and the entire family,
I am one sad LSU Tiger .. the loss of one of my "favorite Aggies" was a shock and my
heart hurts for all! Living in Texas and knowing JoAnn thru her dear sister and my dear friend,Paula, allowed me to see her from time to time here on special occasions and learn to love and appreciate her larger than life personality and heart!!! I had NO idea of the incredible amount of work she was doing in NJ and making such an impact on so many folks!! What a blessing to her family that so many have shared all JoAnn gave and gave to help and educate so many!! Send her off with lots of love and prayers and know she will be yelling GIG EM up there for all to
hear!!'. My heart is heavy but I
can manage a smile knowing she lived her life giving back so much and now she will be with her parents and her Lord and will help us live ours! It's hard for this LSU girl to say "I have to ask my Aggie angel for help" BUT I WILL
love
Michelle Gallagher

JoAnn was my friend and a guest and regular with her students on my radio show, "Playing in the Dirt," in Cape May. I already miss her, and, along with all of us at the Garden Club of Cape May, send our thoughts to all her family and friends.

Please accept my sincere condolences on JoAnn's passing. I was so shocked to hear this news. I knew JoAnn and her students through her affiliation with The Garden Club of Cape May. They grew our annuals for our spring plantings and attended and participated in our annual Flower Show. I would be "allowed" to go up to the greenhouse before their plant sale day and purchase my plants and spend some time with JoAnn in her wonderful, laughter filled world. To say she will be missed is an understatement, but I know she will be watching down on all of us planting and playing in the dirt.

Dear Paula, Thomas and family,
There are no words to describe the sadness I'm feeling at the loss of our beloved JoAnn. She dedicated her life to her students and changed lives for the better. May you have comfort and peace in your heart to know all the kids she encouraged and influenced by her tireless love of teaching. I am so proud of all her accomplishments as a person and teacher. She loved our family and the traditions of our Italian heritage. She will be sorely missed by our family and all who knew her. She was a real "Jersey" girl. My heart is so heavy but the memories of my dear cousin will stay with me forever. I am here for you now and always. With love, "big" Helen xoxo

She was an amazing teacher and second mother to everyone at CMCTHS. She will always be remembered and loved. It was heartbreaking to hear the news but I'm glad she's walking in the land of the lord and dancing in heaven. She watches over us all daily now and is an angel. She still loves us all the same and doesn't want us upset. Remember to smile and keep her in your thoughts. She'll always be by your side. ❤️

I am so saddened at the loss of a truly great agriculture educator and fantastic FFA advisor. Momma JoAnn was the heartbeat of Cape May FFA for so many years, and all of the FFA members from the Newton chapter always looked forward to seeing her whenever they could. I will miss her much, but have peace knowing she is tending to the Lord's garden. My condolences to all the family members. Momma Joann was one of the best ever!

Somewhere tonight a little white dog with big floppy ears lies across his red doghouse and cries himself to sleep.
RIP JoAnn - I'll leave a bottle of Champagne on the porch for you every Christmas Eve.

When I was a new Ag teacher, JoAnn took me under her wing and helped me learn how to teach landscaping and how to advise an FFA chapter; her excellence as an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser is well documented in her many awards and recognitions and evident in the lives of her students. She was generous with her time and knowledge and always willing to help. A few years in, we served as officers in the NJ Agricultural Educators' Association together and JoAnn made sure we all enjoyed it. Every meeting was full of laughs as we worked hard together. She never failed to help me see the funny side of any of my struggles. Her golf-themed hat stands out as a reminder that JoAnn could find the humor in anything. She was supportive of all of our kids, all of our programs, and all of our paths. I know many people have wonderful stories of how JoAnn touched their lives and I hope you hear all of them.

Dear Paula and Thomas,
I was so sad to hear of the sudden passing of JoAnn and am sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences at this difficult time. JoAnn was a wonderful cousin and brought so much joy and happiness to our family. She always had a smile on her face, and her laughter always filled the room. She made many family occasions - 4th of July barbecues at Uncle Joe's, Thanksgiving dinners with the whole family, trips to Ocean City or Margate, weekend visits to Vermont, or countless others - that much more enjoyable. I'll always remember her sweet and caring nature, her fun-loving attitude, and the many good times we shared when I was kid. I, like the rest of the family, will deeply miss our "crazy cousin JoAnn." I hope you can take comfort knowing that she is at peace with your beloved parents and that her beautiful spirit will continue to live on in you and everyone else who knew and loved her. We love you and are all here for you!
Love, David

Ms. S was an amazing teacher, mentor and friend to so many. She led my daughter, Keely to a career in teaching Ag Ed and Science. JoAnn introduced Keely to FFA, which she continued not only through high school but throughout college as well. Today she is an FFA adviser herself. JoAnn gave to all of her students beyond measure and was always there for them. My heart is heavy knowing I will not see her smiling face again. She will live on in all of the young students she helped mold into incredible adults. A great loss; yet we are so fortunate to have had her for the time that we did. My condolences to the family and all who loved her.

Paul, Thomas & Family:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your sister. Family was one of the most important things in JoAnn's life and she loved you all unconditionally. JoAnn loved life and all it had to offer, the good, the bad and the ugly. She always accepted whatever life brought her way and was never without a smile on her face. She was truly one of the most caring and generous people that I have ever met. I feel blessed to have known her and have her be a part of our family. I am deeply saddened by the loss but know that she will live forever through all of the memories she created during her lifetime. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times.
All my love, Teresa
