JoAnn Patterson, 86, of Marion, Iowa, formerly St. Louis, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 10, 2024, with her daughter by her side. Per JoAnn’s wishes there will be no formal memorial service. We suggest that people crank some Jimmy Buffet music and have a margarita or two in her honor.

JoAnn was born March 15, 1938, in North Little Rock, Arkansas, the daughter of Monroe and Elizabeth (Freeman) Sanders.

JoAnn was an avid reader and enjoyed watching old Westerns. She enjoyed bowling and bowled in leagues for years. She was a St. Louis Cardinals fan and a St. Louis Rams fan. She went to several Jimmy Buffett concerts with her friends and was even known to enjoy a margarita. JoAnn especially loved spending time with her family and was quite entertaining when playing a game of Sequence, Progressive Rummy, Yahtzee, or Uno with her grandkids.

JoAnn is survived by her daughter, Trish (Dan) Talley of Marion; three grandchildren, Megan (Doug) Mills of New Boston, Illinois, Joe (Hannah) Talley of Madison, Wisconsin, and Patrick Talley of Olathe, Kansas; and four great-grandchildren, Evelyn, Walter, and Charlotte Mills and Hazel Talley.

JoAnn was in the care of Heritage Specialty Care. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff in the memory care unit, especially Vicky, Jessica, Kim, and Patience. The family also greatly appreciates the support from Adam and the rest of the staff at Care Initiatives Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family to be distributed to some of JoAnn’s favorite organizations.
