JOANN ELAINE WALLACE

JoAnn was married to Johnny Wallace on August 14, 1970. He preceded her in death on January 19, 1997.

She was a lady that loved life-she enjoyed shopping via the television on QVC, she worked puzzle books, and did adult coloring books. Her flower beds and yard were very important. Parking on the grass was off limits. She helped her husband on their farm and even continued to stock their fish pond after his death. Casper, her totally white cat, was alway getting petted and loved. All of these things were important to JoAnn but nothing was more important than her grandkids and great grandkids.

JoAnn’s favorite time of the year was the fall. She loved to go for rides to look at all the leaves turning colors and falling.

She was a member of the 7th and Mueller Church in Paragould.

She was preceded in death by her parents, J.W. and Nadine Richardson, her husband, Johnny Wallace, a sister, Donna Smith, a granddaughter, Ashton Wilkerson, and a great-granddaughter, Kaylee Davidson.
