Joanne worked in this position, completing 20 years of service, where she then retired.

Joanne was a no nonsense kind of woman that loved to plant flowers and working around the house. She was a woman who loved, loved, loved her some good music to bounce to. She also had the voice to sing that she would use when joining her 2 daughters Jolanda Hill and Kwuan Hill-Blue as they would get her going. She was loving, fun, caring, and a fighter and sometimes could be a pistol if necessary (LoL) She also loved to hang out with family. She had a huge heart and took in many as if they were her own. Her greatest joy were her 3 grandchildren Emma, Adam, and Victory Blue She loved taking them on different types of outings and fun events. Joanne loved life and living it.
