JoAnn was born August 28, 1937 in Wharton to Elverda Brod Meismer and Leo Meismer. She is remembered by her family as the heart and soul of their family, and as the sweetest, kindest, and most giving person to touch their lives.

In 1979 they finally settled in Arlington where they spent the next 22 years. JoAnn worked as a secretary for the El Campo Independent School District and later for the Arlington School District, from which she retired. In September 2001, she and Gene moved outside Whitney where they were very happy. JoAnn was a faithful, active participant in her church and volunteered at Hill Regional Hospital.

Preceding her in death were her parents and a brother, James.
