KARANDREAS, Joane Katherine


Joane Katherine Karandreas. A bright star that once shown for all to see has now, in a flicker of an eye, faded - but is not forgotten. A mother, a daughter, and a sister, Joane Karandreas came into this world kicking and screaming on January 22, 1963. Her entry into this world was a prelude of things to come. She lived her life by her own rules. Regret was not in her vocabulary. Enjoying her life and all that it had to offer fueled her ambitions all these years. She was a person of action, a person who would speak her mind. She was respected, if not loved, by all who knew her. Joane is survived by her children, husband, and her loving family and friends in Athens, Greece, Chicago; Phoenix, Boston, California, and Coral Springs, Florida. She truly will be missed, but she will remain the bright star she always has been. Her body will remain in Florida, but her soul is now at rest with our heavenly Father, and her being shall remain in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.
