Joanne Catherine Harstad died on Dec. 18, 2022 at the age of 82. She was
a devoted, loving wife and mother. Joanne was preceded in death by her
husband of 62 years, Terry Harstad.

Joanne was born July 27, 1940 in Yonkers, New York. Her family moved to
the San Gabriel Valley in California where she attended Mark Keppel High
School and met the love of her life, Terry. Joanne also attended and
graduated from West Covina High School. The couple was happily married
on July 12, 1958. Joanne and Terry lived and raised their three children
in West Covina, and upon retirement moved to Lake Havasu City. Joanne
was a welcomed volunteer in various charities throughout her adult life.
She was a wonderful homemaker who enjoyed gardening, traveling with
Terry, and entertaining. She had a deep passion for cooking where her
recipes began with olive oil and ended with a gathering of family and
friends.

Joanne is survived by her three children, Terry, Jeff and Julie, along
with five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded
in death by her husband Terry and grandson Brandon Antillon.

A celebration of life will be held later this year.
