Virgil was in the Air Force which meant that they got to live in many different places. They lived in California where their daughter was born. After that Virgil got stationed at Yokota Air Force Base near Tokyo in Japan. They lived in Burnsville for about 20 years. JoAnn worked for Universal Cooperative for 25 years. After retirement she volunteered at Fairview Ridges Hospital and moved to Northfield. 

JoAnn enjoyed reading, sewing, knitting, and walking her dog Jonny. She also had a love of horseback riding, going to bible study and singing hymns. Most of all she loved spending time with family and friends.
