Joan Marie Piwarski
Joan Marie Piwarski, age 76, of Windsor, peacefully passed away on Aug. 18, 2024, at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, with her loving family by her side.
Born on March 21, 1948, to Charles and Viola (nee Collins) Jameson, in Painesville, Joan was raised in Chardon, where she graduated from Chardon High School.
Joanie was a free spirit who embraced life with a joyful heart and an adventurous soul. She was known for her love of motorcycles, her deep connection with nature and her magical ability to bring even the most withered plants back to life. Her green thumb was legendary, and her garden was a testament to her nurturing spirit.
She had such a vibrant personality and enjoyed all genres of music.
But above all, Joanie’s greatest gift was the love she gave to those around her. Her family and friends were the center of her world, and if you were lucky enough to be loved by Joanie, you had a friend for life.
She had a remarkable ability to see the good in everyone, never judging, always accepting, and never giving up on anyone. Her smile was contagious and her laughter could light up any room, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Joanie leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth, survived by her children, Nicole (Richard Heffern) Piwarski, of Russell Township, Ronald (Melissa) Piwarski, of Crestview, Fla., and Shaun Piwarski, of Windsor; brother, Ken Jameson; sisters, Joyce (Bill) Santore and Jeanette (Bob) Peterson; her adored grandchildren, Medo, Nya, Carter, Isabel, Averi and Gordon; and her life companion, Roger Boosinger.
A celebration of Joanie’s life will be held on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024, with visitation from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, at Burr Funeral Home, 116 South St., Chardon. A funeral service will follow at 12 noon.
