Castagna, JoAnn Elisabeth
JoAnn Elisabeth Castagna, loving wife of Dan Campion, died at her home in Iowa City on Dec. 5, 2013. The cause was breast cancer, a malady she had prevailed against with fortitude and wit since she learned of her illness in December 2004.
JoAnn bequeathed her body to the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. In accord with her preference, no funeral or commemorative service will be held. Instead, an informal tea will be served at Prairie Lights Bookstore in mid-December with the date and time to be announced.
A complete obituary will appear next week.
Arrangements are with Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service, where online condolences may be sent to www.lensingfuneral.com.
