Joann was born on April 29, 1958 to John and Rose (Manning) Kolarovic in Traverse City, Michigan. Joann dedicated herself to raising her two boys and enjoyed the time she spent with them, whether going for walks out in nature or on special camping trips. She had a beautiful garden she tended to.

She was a very talented artist, and enjoyed photography and collect antique equipment. She volunteered her time serving her community as the Greenwood Township Clerk for numerous years, and recently helping assist with training over at the township. Some of her fondest memories to share included fishing trips with her father in her younger years. Above all she cherished the time spent with her family, especially her two boys and her granddaughter.
