Following her father’s death in 2007, Joann moved into the Lynch Homes - Ridgeway, Willow Grove, where she developed a strong bond with her caregivers, especially Ruth Suber and Annette Babb.
Joann had enjoyed doing Seek-a-Word Puzzles, bowling, and watching the Phillies. She had also enjoyed workshop-sponsored holiday parties and Jersey shore vacations with her family.
