Joan Rizzo Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on February 25, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Joan Rizzo of Ellenboro, North Carolina. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Joan Rizzo or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service.
As we bid Joan farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Joan is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Vincent Henry Haverkamp and Edna Ann Smith Haverkamp.
