Joanna's friend was more than just a friend—she was like a sister and a cherished member of the household. Their bond was one of deep trust and love, and she brought warmth and kindness into every room she entered. Tragically, her life was cut short in a hit and run accident while she was crossing the street in Eagan. The sudden loss has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.

She was a devoted single parent to her 16-year-old son, and her world revolved around caring for him and supporting others. Her gentle spirit shone through in her work with small children at a local daycare, where she made a lasting impact on countless young lives. Her love for animals and her nurturing nature touched everyone she met, and her absence is felt deeply by her family, friends, and the community.

We are raising funds to help cover her funeral expenses and memorial service, hoping to honor her memory in a way that reflects the love and kindness she shared with so many. Any support—whether through a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or simply keeping her memory alive—means the world to us. Thank you for helping us celebrate her life and support her son during this incredibly difficult time.
