The family lived on County Line Road on the western boundary of Monroe County across from Lenawee County. JoAnn was a 1955 graduate of Dundee High School in Dundee, Michigan.

JoAnn died on February 3, 2015 in St Joseph Mercy Hospital,  Ypsilanti, Michigan. She was 77 years of age.

JoAnn was my first cousin, once removed i.e. her father and my father were cousins. She was a fun filled, very nice person and she was very helpful in pulling together information on her grandfather, Heinrich Heiden's family for this family history.

She and my sister, Joyce Wittman were in the same class at Dundee High School and they were close friends. That's Joyce on the left and JoAnn on the right in this picture from the early 1950s.

Thank you, JoAnn!
