She joins her late daughter Kimberly who passed away in 1986 at 16 months old. Joannie was born on March 8, 1954 in Framingham, MA to the late Timothy and Kathleen (Landry) McCullough.

Growing up, Joannie loved her summers in Mattapoisett. She loved the beach, walking to Gulf Hill to get an ice cream and hanging out with her siblings and summer friends. She loved all babies and going skiing in Utah with her family.

Joannie leaves behind her five siblings: her brothers, Steven and Faye McCullough, James and Anne McCullough, Paul and Charlene McCullough; and her sisters Kathleen and David Gill and Anne Watson and her sister and brother-in-law Karen and Arthur Connolly. She was blessed with many nieces and nephews, her lifelong best friend Jane (Bonano) DiPerri, and countless other close companions whose friendships she always cherished.
