Joanne Cecelia Ulrich

Joanne aka "The Paper Lady" was a wonderful and strong lady. She fought lung cancer for three years with her daughter right by her side every day of it. Joanne loved Jehova and the truth. She enjoyed hummingbirds, listening to country music, and the beauty of flowers.

In 1993 she went to work for the Times Standard and worked for 18 years delivering the paper on the Hoopa reservation. While she did this job 7 days a week, she also went to work for the K.T.J.U.S.D. as a bus driver and special education teacher in 1991. She retired in 2005.

Joanne was a beautiful lady and is going to be missed dearly by many.
