JoAnn Gilliland was an amazing wife, mom, grandmother, and aunt. Even though she had many hobbies, interests, and lifelong friends throughout the years, her focus has always been her family. She always made time to talk or make our favorite meals. She was patient, kind, gracious, and loved us unconditionally. We, her children, never doubted her absolute devotion to us. She was our greatest supporter, encourager, and confidante. We love you, Mom. There are not enough words to tell you just how grateful we are to you and how blessed we are to have been chosen to be your children. I am so glad you are with Jesus, Dad, and Sherri. We look forward to seeing you again in heaven, because we know that is where you are based on your faith in Jesus, our Savior.
She is preceded in death by her father, Tom Hart, her mother, Evelyn Hart, her sister, Virginia Mobley, and her daughter, Sherri Sutter(Lee). Surviving are three children, Kristi Matheny(Mike), Ken Gilliland(Beth), and Rick Gilliland. She also had 7 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and four nieces who brought her great joy and companionship.
Because of Covid restrictions, we have chosen to only have a small family service.
