Joanna's obituary

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Joanna "Jojo" Hope Beaver, who left us on February 5, 2026. Born on June 29, 1984, Joanna was a beloved; mother, aunt, sister, daughter, and friend. Her ceaseless love, unique humor, and unwavering loyalty will be remembered by all who knew her.

Joanna is survived by her loving family – her mother, Gilda Nuss; step-father, Mark Nuss; brother, Joshua Beaver; sister, Zoë Reilly; nieces, Veda, Nina, and Mari Reilly; and her precious daughter, Grace Anne F. Each of them will hold on to the loving memories of Joanna, cherishing her beautiful spirit and keeping her alive in their hearts.

Known to some as Joanna, but preferring Jojo, she was a woman of incomparable kindness – a rare gem in an often harsh world. She embraced life with an open heart and a willingness to love that knew no bounds. A beautiful soul inside and out, Joanna was one of a kind, and leaves behind a void that can never be filled.

Her loving family will be holding a Celebration of Life for Joanna on March 14, 2026 1-4pm in Louisville. The celebration will provide an opportunity for those who knew Joanna to come together, sharing stories, tears, and laughter as they remember the woman who touched their lives in so many ways.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to "Women in Circle". Contribution to this cause that was close to Joanna's heart can be made through the following link: https://everloved.com/life-of…

Joanna's departure leaves our world a little less bright, but her spirit, her love, and the memories she created will continue to illuminate the lives of those she left behind. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
