Also survived by her brother, Sam Vincent Milana and his wife Anna, her sister in law, Janet, her stepchildren Cathy L. Doman, her Husband Doug Kennedy and Karen Roy. The light in “Nonna J’s life were her grandchildren, Mandy, Shannon, Erica, Victoria, Olivia, Joseph, Charlie and Zachary.  She also adored her nieces and nephews.

Joanne was a quick witted woman with a great sense of humor who loved engaging in lively conversations at family gatherings.  A teacher for 28 years, she never let a misspelling or grammatical error go uncorrected. Growing up across the street from St. Michaels Church and attending Mount Saint Mary’s Academy, Joanne was a woman of unshakeable faith and generosity.
