Misc. Notes
Joann was an identical twin with her sister Joyce. You could not tell them apart. For about ten years there was a falling out between the two sisters and they would not speak to one another during that time.51
Possibly at one time Joann was a resident of West Decatur, PA per a hospital admittance notice in the Clearfield Progress newspaper.52
I believe Joanne was a cousin to Richard Delmont Lines’ second spouse, Barbara. Joanne had an identical twin sister Joyce who died in the 1990s (I have the newspaper obituary in storage). Joanne had a son who was about 5 years old when I met my biological mother for the one and only time, following my adoption, in about 1967. It turned out I discovered my half brother Daniel in June of 2016. It was Daniel who was the little boy I saw during that one and only visit to see my mother.3
____________
Joanne was married only once and to Robert “Sonny” Gisewhie. She later lived with a Boyd Lippert who beat her up.51
Joann, after seeing Karen’s happy marriage to her husband Paul was surprised and said she thought all men beat their wives.53
____________
Joann was a spunky one but sweet and naive. She had a good heart and took care of her dying twin sister Joyce. She also took care of her brother Burt in his last days. She always kept herself looking nice wih her hair neatly styled.53
Joann was well into her 40’s and wondered where the stars went during the day. Another time she asked her son Daniel, regarding a cat food TV commercial in which a cat sang to a tune constantly and repeatedly meowing, “How’d they get that cat to meow like that?” She was fiercely competitive and would not let her son Daniel or other kids win at any games. She was afraid of thunder and lightning storms.51
