When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set on me, remember the love that we shared, and that will comfort thee… On Thursday, October 28, 2010 surrounded by her loving family, Joann L. Moore, 62 of Athens Township, passed away. Joann was born on July 31, 1948 in Sayre, a daughter of Sarah (Rogers) White and the late Joseph White. She was a graduate of Athens Area High School and The Mansfield State College in 1970. Joann was employed by the Athens Area School District for 31 years, where she opened her heart teaching first grade and kids with special needs. Even after retirement she would greet all the kids in the morning as they arrived at school. She enjoyed spending time gardening, being surrounded by family, wintering in Florida, and always took the time to say 'thank you' to those who proudly serve our country. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and her community.
