JoAnn E. Javes

JoAnn E. Javes, age 86, of Crystal passed away peacefully on May 24, 2020.

JoAnn’s main love was her family, children, grandchildren, and of course her husband. She could always be counted on to hear a great story or make something tasty in the kitchen. She loved playing bingo, admiring beautiful flowers and birds. Equally important was JoAnn’s Irish Heritage! A true Irish Lady at heart! Her Irish eyes were always smiling! She wore her Green Proud and even made it to Ireland for a beautiful trip! She will be missed by her family and friends who loved her so dearly, and also the many people whose lives she blessed just by meeting her! We love you always and forever our Beautiful Irish Angel! Fly high with Grandpa Tom! Your Irish luck is sure to get him a hole in one!

Preceded in death by loving husband, Thomas Francis Javes; and mother, Lillian Kelley.

Survived by children, David Javes, Dan (Bridget) Javes of St. Louis Park, Sue (Timothy) Reed of Plymouth, Mike Kelly, Julie (Ron) Ruch of Becker, and Sally Lubrant of Crystal; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

Private interment at Gethsemane Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to CentreCare – Monticello Care Center, 1104 East River St., Monticello.
