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.

My beautiful mother, I will miss you dearly. I cherished every moment we had together. Rest in peace now. Your loving daughter.
Grandma, you were the most lovely, caring person I ever had in my life. I have the memories we made together held so close to my heart. As a child I remember always having that pink ointment on every ant bite, an aspirin for every little pain, and a hug every time u could get one out ta me. My favorite memory was staying up late and falling asleep with you as you rocked me in your recliner. I love you grandma. We will be together again one day in paradise. Love always (your favorite grand daughter) Ashley
I could tell Annie anything. She always had a listening ear, an open heart, and hugs to comfort me. I adored her and I love her. She opened her heart up to everyone in need. I will miss her. I will carry all the memories that she and I shared within my heart forever. Fly into Jesus’ arms my dear Annie and be at peace and rest with the Lord. Love you more than all the stars in the heavens above. Ginger
