Joanne Kish Obituary

Joanne Marie Kish, beloved wife, mother, grand-mother, great-grand-mother, aunt, friend, met her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on July 24, 2025, at 10:55 am when He called her home. We know she heard Him say, "Well done good and faithful servant, welcome into the glory I have prepared for you!"
Joanne (88) was born to Mary and Frank Jacobson on December 17, 1936. She married Edward J. Kish, August 8, 1959, a marriage that lasted until she left this earth. Joanne's love for her family was unconditional. She loved her five daughters and their spouses, grand kids, and great grandkids equally. Her smile would light up the room whenever a family member or friend came to visit. She loved quiet moments on her porch swing sharing tea and memories. She is and always will be an amazing mom sharing her many talents with her family and friends. She taught her daughters to cook and bake, sew and quilt, paint and sing! They grew up with music at the center of their day. Her home was always exceptionally decorated and around the holidays it became magical. But most of all she taught them the love of God our Savior; she taught them in the Way they should go, and they have not departed from that path.
Joanne leaves behind the love of her life Edward (93), her daughters, Sandy (Nick) Pacak, Jane (Ted) Brobst, Denise (Bruce) Timko, Wendy (Paul) Bageman, and Kristen (Michael) Chufo; grandkids, Nicholas (Kara) Pacak, Alexandra Pacak (Jordan) Heidel, Boo (Sarah) Timko, Brooke Timko (Samuel) Hurt, Brianna Timko (Jake) Rose, Edward Bageman, Paul O Bageman, Katie Bageman (Jessie) Jones, and Mickaley Chufo (Dustin) Walton; and great grandkids, Nicholas Pacak, Isabel Pacak, Eleanor Hurt, Ivy Hurt, Sadie Rose, and Sylvie Timko.
Preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mary; and brother Frank Jr.
