Joanne F. Heisler, 82

Joanne F. Heisler, 82, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 10, 2011, at The Glen at Willow Valley. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Hess E. and Dora Weimer Fritz.

Her family includes two daughters, Deborah, wife of Walter Zollinger, and Pamela Kinney, both of Lancaster; five grandchildren, Julie Strong, Elizabethtown, Abby, wife of Michael Schultz, Edgewater Park, NJ, Adam Kinney, Lancaster, and Taylor and Trent Kinney, both of Los Angeles, CA; and her two great-grandchildren Olivia and Matthew Schultz. In addition to her husband, Joanne was preceded in death by her grandson, Ryan Kinney.

A Memorial Service will be held 2 PM Friday, September 16th at the Charles F. Snyder Funeral Jr. Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA , with the Rev. Ann S. Osborne officiating.
