Joanne Hosey Lukasik, age 68, of Tuscaloosa, AL passed away on July 6, 2025. Joanne was born in Tuscaloosa, AL and grew up in Decatur, AL where she graduated from Decatur High School as a cheerleader and valedictorian, class of 1975. She went on to study biology at the University of Alabama graduating in 1979, later pursuing graduate degrees from the University of Montevallo and University of Alabama at Birmingham. She met her husband Robert at UA and they married on October 13, 1979. Joanne spent 31 years in Sylacauga, AL and the past 17 years in Tuscaloosa, AL. By trade, she was a biology teacher, counselor and school psychometrist but in reality, she was so much more. She was a daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, friend, woodworker, Trinity Presbyterian Church member, gardener, Alpha Chi Omega sorority sister and unwavering University of Alabama sports fan. Kindness, patience, and humility spilled from Joanne's personality and extended to everyone around her. Joanne's faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was one of her most defining characteristics. She has been an active member in the PCA since 1980. Second only to her faith in God was her love for Robert during their 45-year marriage and pride in her three children and six grandchildren.
