JoAnn was born December 15, 1946, in Duluth, Minnesota, the daughter of Ralph and Claudine (Sutton) Erickson. She married William Robert Huston on May 22, 1965, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. JoAnn was a homemaker. Bill and JoAnn worked together in their cleaning service. This allowed them the opportunity to do a work they enjoyed teaching others about the message of hope from the bible.

Special thanks goes out to all the family and friends that assisted in her care, especially Mercy Hospice.
