Joann Isabel Rose Patton, age 92, a resident of Lombard, IL since 2019 and formerly of Sugar Grove, IL and Kittanning, PA passed away on Sunday, August 15, 2021.

She was born on August 6, 1929 in Cambridge, OH. She married John K. Patton on June 22, 1958, with whom she spent 63 wonderful years. They had two daughters, Shauna (William) Wiet of Aurora, IL and Lynn (Neil) Gissler of Naperville, IL.

As John's job took the family to different states, Joann's friendly nature and interest in people quickly helped them create long-lasting roots. She loved her family, friends, travel, animals, a good department store and The Ohio State Buckeyes. In addition, she was a low-handicap golfer and was a club champion at Kittanning Country Club. Joann was a member of Union First Presbyterian Church, Cowansville, PA, serving as church treasurer.

In addition to her husband and daughters, Joann is survived by her adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Madeline & Joseph Gissler, Elizabeth Wiet, Ryan (Eric) Doornbos, and Audrey & Jack Doornbos. She was a beloved sister-in-law to Sheila Caggiano, Sharyn (James) Gillette and Roger (Dorothy) Patton. Joann never forgot a birthday of her many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents Bert and Mary Rose; brothers Donald, Robert and Gene Rose, sisters-in-law Mary Rose, Mary Elizabeth Rose, Monna Rose and Shirley Hellyer; and brothers-in-law William Hellyer and Nurmi Caggiano.
