Joanne Marie Emerson Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on July 3, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Joanne Marie Emerson (Kent, Washington), born in Toledo, Ohio. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Joanne Marie Emerson to show support.

As we bid adieu to Joanne Marie's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in her wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Joanne Marie has bequeathed us. For though she may have departed from our sight, her spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

She was predeceased by: her husband Bill. She is survived by: her daughters, Valerie Smith (Craig), Laura Harper (Kent), Christine Emerson (James Boulter) and Carol Emerson (Tyler Yasenak); and her grandsons, Anthony Emerson and Benjamin Ailes. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews and many friends.
