| About | JoAnn Patterson was born in Polk County, Texas, the daughter of James Everett Patterson and Geraldine Ashworth. She grew up in Texas alongside her sister, Vivian Viola Patterson and spent her teenage years in Houston, where she attended Milby High School. Those who knew her then remember a bright, friendly, and well?liked young woman whose presence made an impression on everyone around her. JoAnn lived a quieter life, becoming increasingly private in her later years. JoAnn passed away on July 4, 2016, at the age of 68. No obituary was published, and no public record of her burial exists, but her life touched many people — including classmates who still remember her with affection decades later. This memorial is created to ensure that JoAnn's name, her family, and her story are preserved with respect and care. She is remembered not only for the life she lived, but for the kindness she showed, the friendships she formed, and the quiet strength she carried with her throughout the years. May she rest in peace. |
