JoAnn was the heart of our family. Her house hosted every birthday party, sleepover, and holiday. She showed loved to anyone who graced her doorstep and ensured everyone’s wellbeing. Most who knew our family either called her Mom or G as she always made everyone feel as if they were a part of our family.

She is predeceased by her husband, Richard Haynes; and her son, Shawn Haynes. She is survived by her son, Frank Haynes; daughters, Tracy Bolton and Dawn Drain. As well, as seven granddaughters and eight great grandchildren, who will all miss her dearly.

“Thank you for the gift of love.
Now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say,
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on,
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
We say goodbye,
As tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
You're telling God
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and minds.
So Grandma, I must go
but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.”
