Joanne schooled in East Coulee until Grade 3 then finished her education in Drumheller. She worked numerous jobs including the Co-op Cafeteria, the East Coulee School Museum with Toni and Andy and with Canalta Hotels for the last twenty years. Joanne enjoyed life.

Joanne was predeceased by her father Fred Skomar, her grandparents Robert and Emily Ellis, her dear nephew Jarrett Bosch, two aunts, Joan Albright and Grace Stewart, an Uncle Neil Stewart and cousins Linda and husband Wes Selby.
