Jo-Ann was my mom Phyllis' cousin and I'll always remember the kindness of Jo- Ann when she came to mom's service in 2017 when she passed away. I know my mom was always fond of her and the memories they shared. I was so sorry to hear of her sudden passing and I know she will be very missed. Praying for comfort and peace in this time.

Sending loving thoughts to all of my dear cousins and all of Jo-Ann’s family. I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words.
Jo-Ann,. such a kind hearted , loving person who brought much joy to so many. My childhood friend. It seems like yesterday, as little girls we spent hours playing with the buttons in Grandma’s button box.
I know she has been a bright light to so many people.
What better measure of a life well lived than the goodness it has deposited in the lives of others. Her life will affect generations to come through those she has touched. Well done dear cousin. And now you have joined your beloved son and so many we love and miss as you will always be loved and missed.

When I think of Aunt Jo-Ann the first word that comes to mind is, BEAUTIFUL. She was a beautifully stunning woman on the outside, but even more on the inside. As a child I loved going to the annual 4th of July parties, I have many fond memories from them throughout the years. She was caring,uplifting,creative, and unique. She always gave the most unique gifts with thought behind it. She kept Keith's memory and legacy alive, I hope they are reunited now ❤️. She would see hearts is shapes from food to a leaf and it was her hugs from Keith. I hope you send Uncle George down hugs, I know he will need it. You all were such a helping family with huge hearts that will never be forgotten.
Love, Missy

I didn’t know JoAnn very well and only met her a few times but the time I did spend with her, she made me feel very welcomed and always had a beautiful smile on her face. I know her brother Peter a very long time. I know he truly loved his sister, and know he will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. They will be in my thoughts and prayers, especially during this terribly difficult time. And a note to Peter, I know the pain of losing a sibling and my heart goes out to you, my friend.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved cousin Jo-Ann . What a beautiful person she was both on the inside and out. I'm so glad that Marty and I took a ride to Lyndhurst and stopped by to see Pete, then Jo-Ann and George and had a lovely visit. One memory we spoke of was when we were little kids going in the square little pool by Grandma and Grandpa Aquilina's house and barbeques in their backyard. Fond memories. May she rest in the sweetest peace with her beloved son, Keith. Love and prayers to all. Cousin Linda

I am so sorry to hear about our beautiful cousin, Jo Ann.
I know that we haven’t been in touch for so long, but the beautiful soul that Jo Ann had has been with us for so many years.
Jo Ann was always admired for her kind, beautiful smile, and her loving heart.
I think for a moment about Jo Ann from when we were kids, and I can’t believe I’m writing this, I can’t believe Jo Ann Spano as we always called her, is no longer with us.
The strength that she had when she had to endure the loss of Keith tells us about her spirit and the love she shared by dedicating so much of her time and memory of her beloved son.
I pray that all of us find peace knowing that
Jo Ann is now with her beautiful son Keith, her brother Joey, and her mom, Aunt Connie.
Jo Ann, you will always be in our hearts forever, you are someone who set an example of how life should be lived. Let us never forget that.
Rest in peace, my beautiful cousin.
Love,
Rose Ann
