Always a busy and hectic time at her house. When I helped her and Joe build a garage on Randolf St she made the best damm cabbage rolls for lunch. She is missed and loved by so many, such a wonderful and generous person. Stephen Dalley.

Dear Dennis, Fred, Joseph, Elizabeth,Chris, Diane, Lisa and families, our family extends our condolences and prayers as you deal with this great loss...JoAnne was a dear childhood friend of my late mother, Teresa. My Mom always looked forward to the lunches and time she shared with JoAnne and Jill and Gio, and her face lit up when regailing the stories of their shenanigans! I will always remember the joy that JoAnne brought to my mother's life.Theirs was a "fairy tale" freindship, a friendship that endured for 82 years, begining around 1939 (when they were 6 years old, nieghbours and classmates), and lasting until my Mom passed away at age 88. The stories of their entwined lives formed part of our family legends: like when as children they noticed an unattended railway hand cart and ran it up and down the tracks in the railyard until the yard workers noticed, and they ran away giggling....Mom told me of many adventures they shared together through thier childhood, adolescence, and adulthood and I began to understand JoAnne was more than just a freind, really a sister to my Mom...I will always be grateful and thankful for the blessing of JoAnne's presence in my Mom's life. She made my Mom's life better....I'm pretty sure that Heaven will be a little more boisterous now that JoAnne is there with Jill and Gio and Mom. God Bless You JoAnne, and may you find peace and comfort and happiness in the warmth of His Loving Embrace.....

Our sincerest condolences to the Passa family. Your mom was a dear friend to our Aunt Jill. I will always remember her kindness when she graciously offered to babysit our son, Chris (he was 18 months old), one day when I had no options. She already had Jen Papak (and I’m not sure how many others) and didn’t hesitate to take in another child that she didn’t know. That memory resonates with me and defines her giving heart. I am sure she and Aunt Jill have reunited and are sharing stories while sitting together at bingo ❤️. We hope your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Nancy and Mike Johns

Dear Liz I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mother. Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Though I never had the chance to meet her I feel I got to know her by your stories you shared of her. I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and your family. May you find strength and peace in the memories you shared with her and that you will remember her always. May you find Love and Peace knowing that she is with your Father now. R.I.P. JoAnne …..
