The passion continued and they opened their own antique store in Boulder City called the Roaring 20's Player Piano's and Antiques. They would restore old player pianos and sell antiques. They owned and operated the store from 1988 to 1995. Joanne was a loving wife who loved to be around family. She had a strong faith and was a member of the St Andrew's Catholic Community Her husband of 56 years feels being married to such a beautiful, talented, caring, and compassionate woman has truly made his life so meaningful. She gave so much of herself to make her family proud to have her as their wife, mother, and grandmother. She asked very little of everyone but gave so much of herself to make everyone happy. She truly deserves a special place in God's House. Their loss can never be expressed in words. They will always miss her sparkling eyes and loving smile.
