JoAnn McGhee, age 82, of Swanton, Ohio, entered into eternal life, Tuesday morning, November 29, 2022, at The Gables of Westerville in Westerville, Ohio. JoAnn was born December 16, 1939 in Toledo, Ohio to Wayne Ambrose and Hilda Margaret (Eisel) Brown. JoAnn grew up in Assumption and was a 1957 graduate of St. Mary’s.

JoAnn’s first job was with Ransom and Randolf in Toledo. She worked 14 years for Metamora State Bank, and 8 years at Key Bank. She enjoyed golfing at Valleywood, playing Euchre with friends, and most of all, spending time with family and her grandkids. She was always on the go whether it was shopping with her daughter, taking her grandkids to the zoo or a walk in the park or vacationing in Florida with her husband. She always saw the bright side of everything and she sure knew how to laugh and live life to it’s fullest.
