Passed away kicking and screaming in her fighting spirit on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. JoAnn was known for her smile, quick wit, and advice. She welcomed everyone into her fold and would be your confidant, biggest fan, and strength when you needed it the most. She was the anchor that would hold the world together even as it seemed to fall apart at the seams. She was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and played a motherly role. After traveling worldwide with her husband for many years, they settled in Ireland for several years before returning home. She was a caregiver and all around light to this world. She is survived by her loving husband, John C. Brittain, his son, John, Jr. and grandson, John, III. Beloved and devoted daughter of the late John and Muriel Roberts and granddaughter to the late Lawrence and Grace Truver. Loving sister of Larry Roberts (Lynn), Merle Neill (Tom), Jackie Denham (Charlie), Barb Vivaldi (Vic), Joanne Crawford and the late Jimmy Brittain. Cherished aunt of Larry Roberts (Carrissa), Rich Roberts (Jim), Katie Denham, Mandie Denham-Jones (Jason). Loving great-aunt of Larry Roberts. Family and friends welcome Sunday, 2-8 p.m. WM.
