PICCOLO, JOANNA It is with a broken heart, I sorrowfully announce the passing of my loving, caring and beautiful wife for over 37 years, Joanna Mary Piccolo (nee Fercik), June 1, 1959 to February 16, 2021. Joanna valiantly and bravely fought cancer for over 12 years. She was always very optimistic, never complained and was a true fighter.
We shared a beautiful and wonderful life together travelling and enjoying each and every day. People were drawn to Joanna and her laughter and warm smile could brighten up any room! Having been in the hospital from March 27th to August 10, 2020, due to a broken leg, Joanna decided to come home to live out the rest of her days as her cancer had progressed. She passed away quietly in her sleep with her husband by her side. Cremation has taken place.
She has left this world to be reunited with her parents, Helen and Joe Fercik, her grandparents John and Helen Slosiar and her father-in-law, Philip Piccolo. Left to mourn are her loving and caring husband Michael A. Piccolo, mother-in-law and good friend Irene Piccolo, brother-in-law Steve (Barbara) Piccolo and their family niece Lisa Maye, her children Morgan and Kameron, niece Michelle Piccolo-Dobbs (Matt) and their children Melody and Mason, sister-in-law Lynn (Stan) Malecki, brother-in-law Philip (Lisa) Piccolo.
