✨ Resident Spotlight: Meet Joanne ✨
Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Joanne has lived a life full of creativity, community, and adventure. She graduated from Boise High School, where she was honored as Queen of Job’s Daughters, and later attended the University of Idaho, where she was a proud member of Gamma Phi Beta and earned her degree in Home Economics. After college, Joanne spent 10 years in Moscow, Idaho, working as an Extension Home Economist for the University of Idaho. She traveled throughout Latah County supporting farm families and judging 4H competitions — a role that reflected her passion for helping others.
Joanne and her husband raised two beautiful daughters together and later settled in Pullman, WA, where they spent 45 wonderful years together. During that time, Joanne owned her own interior design business on Main Street and even returned to school to earn her Master’s degree in Design focused on accessibility in 1999. A longtime WSU Cougar Football fan (45 years as a season ticket holder!), Joanne also loves skiing, spending time at her family cabin on Hayden Lake, and traveling — including trips to Spain and France. 🎿✈️ These days, she enjoys spending time with her daughters, coloring, painting, crafting, and being outdoors, whether it’s a peaceful walk or a scenic drive.
We’re so lucky to have Joanne as part of our community! 💛
