JoAnn grew up in Port Aransas, Texas and then moved to Santa Fe, Texas where she lived for most of her adult life. She lived her last four years in New Braunfels where she battled a lung disease. JoAnn was the rock in our family and a wonderful, devoted and loving mother and grandmother. She will live in our hearts forever and be missed dearly, but will never be forgotten by all. We want to thank everyone at Hope Hospice in New Braunfels who assisted with JoAnn's care. They were the most attentive and caring group of people. We couldn't have done it without them. In lieu of flowers, we ask a donation be made in memory of JoAnn Burgess to Hope Hospice (a non profit organization), 611 N. Walnut Avenue, New Braunfels, TX 78130.
