JoAnn Sappenfield-Johnson

JoAnn left her earthly body to join her loving family in Heaven. At 98, it was time to let her return to the arms of her Personal Savior.

JoAnn was born on a lovely day in 1927. Seaside became the family heart, where she spent every birthday of her life surrounded by family. She was joined by three amazing brothers, Jerry, Joel (Deceased), and Jeff (Deceased). Her parents, Harold and Belva Sappenfield (Deceased), raised them to be honest, giving, loving people. They always found their way to the family house in Seaside as often as possible.

JoAnn married Ralph, a handsome sailor from Tongue Point. There was one seat free at the Liberty Theater. They welcomed twins, Kristi and Jerome, and a daughter, Gail. Family was everything to JoAnn. She never lost hope or love for any of her relatives and remained the optimistic person she was.

JoAnn taught kindergarten in Portland for thirty-five years!! So! Love WAS always the answer. We will miss you dearly and love you fiercely.
