She loved to travel with her friends and family, never passing up a chance to visit San Francisco and enjoy a beverage at the Buena Vista or spending a few nights at the Don Cesar on St. Pete Beach.

Preceding JoAnn in death and waiting for her in heaven are her parents Joe & Wanda and her brother David. She passed away on November 24, 2021 at the James Cancer Hospital with her loved ones surrounding her.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Joseph, Cooper & Kathryn O’Brien, her estranged husband Victor O’Brien. her brother Michael (Chris) Callahan, her nieces Kelly (Angie), Karin & Erica Callahan, as well as other extended family members including many loving cousins, her In-laws (or Outlaws), and many nieces and nephews.
