JoAnn Hall, 88

JoAnn Hall, age 88, passed away from natural causes on May 27, 2024, at St. Luke Extended Care in Ronan. 

JoAnn was born Dec. 6, 1935, to Dale and Alma (Johnson) Greenland in Kalispell. She married Anthony Olson on July 14, 1951, and they soon brought their first daughter, Linda, into the world, followed by daughters Cheryl and Deborah and one son, Rick. 

Tony and JoAnn enjoyed traveling after Tony retired, and spent winters in Bullhead City, Ariz., and summers in Montana. 

Prior to Tony’s passing in June of 1991, they moved to Pablo where JoAnn resided until 2002. It was then that she met Gerald Hall and moved to his home in Missoula. They were married in January of 2003, and remained so until Jerry’s passing in 2014.

There was nothing JoAnn loved more than her family. Her children and grandchildren were her world. A visit from any of them brought a smile to her face that none of us will forget, and we will cherish the fond memories of the love that we all shared with her. We will always remember her baking, specifically her pumpkin pie and chocolate-chip cookies.

JoAnn is preceded in death by her parents, siblings Bobbie and Barbara, first husband Tony, second husband Jerry, daughters Linda and Deborah, son Rick and grandson Tony.   

She is survived by her daughter, Cheryl Joachim; her grandchildren, Rich (Lana) Sager, Sherrie (Troy) Holland, Jason (Renee) Joachim, Amy (Jeff Kelly) Barber, Lacey (Frank) Schmitz, Justin Olson and Linden Olson; great-grandchildren Brandon Sager, Patrick Sager, Chelsee Lambert, Erin Ormiston, Chris Ormiston, Vannessa Holland, Desirea Anderson, Meikah Holland, Tyler Joachim, Brooklyn Joachim, Lindsay Barber, Braden Barber, Frankie Schmitz and Hazel Schmitz;  and 21 great-great grandchildren. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate to any youth program of your choice. It was JoAnn’s wish for all children to have what they needed.
