We are reaching out to our community for support to help Joanna’s family with funeral expenses and the travel costs needed to bring loved ones together. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow the family to focus on honoring Joanna’s memory and supporting each other through their grief. Your generosity will help ensure that Joanna is remembered in the way she deserves, surrounded by those who loved her most.

Joanna moved through this world with brightness and spontaneity. — in love with nature, her family, her friends, and her constant journey of self development. There was something so free about her… like she belonged to the wind and the sunshine. Often gliding by on her skateboard, with a smile that brightened her gorgeous blue eyes, Joanna was a bright and adventurous spirit who touched the lives of everyone around her. Tragically, she passed away in a backpacking accident, leaving her family and friends heartbroken. Joanna’s family is now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye and making arrangements during this incredibly difficult time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your donation and words of comfort mean more than we can say as we grieve and make arrangements for our sweet Joanna. Your support is a great comfort to our family in this time of great sorrow.
