She was born May 6, 1938 in Richey, to LeRoy Ziegler and Helen Schutt. It was the worst blizzard of the year. She loved the farm girl life.

When the country school closed they moved to Glendive and went back to the farm when school was out.

At age 50 they transferred to Craig, Colo. and from there they were transferred again to Casper, Wyo., then Dickinson, followed by Sidney and Gillette, Wyo. and finally retired in Casper, Wyo.
Joanne’s great faith in God was a comfort in her years of sickness. She always wished she could be closer to her 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
