After dedicating her early adult years to rearing her children, Joann attended Alvernia College and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1978. Shortly thereafter, she began a career in real estate which lasted until her retirement in 2000. Joann became very well known in the Real Estate Community of Berks County and was a top producing agent for most of her career. In her retirement years, Joann stayed very active doing a variety of things including serving as her church choir director, playing the organ at masses and funerals, and serving meals to home bound seniors.

While Joann’s career and volunteerism were noteworthy, nothing held a higher priority in her life than her family. She devoted incredible energy to spending time with and providing help of all sorts to her children and grandchildren. Nothing gave her greater joy than watching her grandchildren perform in musical events and compete in athletic competitions.
