Joanne began her life at Trinity hospital, Minot North Dakota on December 30th, 1943. She attended grades one through eight at Division School and then attended and graduated from Parshall High School. During high school, she worked at the concession stand at the Parshall movie theater.

While attending High School, Joanne met Alfred Brown who worked as a custom combiner for Joanne's uncle. Alfred and Joanne married on February 24th, 1962.

Joanne thrived at being a homemaker who supported her husband's work and spiritual life to include his evangelistic ministry. Her heart for hospitality was relevant in how she welcomed folks into her home for Bible studies and fellowship in general. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Her love for various types of animals was exemplified by how she consistently enjoyed feeding wildlife, like deer, birds, & squirrels. She also treasured every opportunity to go for rides through the Roosevelt National Parks and took joy in intently looking for animals and enjoying the beautiful scenery. She also loved Pomeranians. In fact, she successively raised several Pomeranians through the years, all named "Tyke".

She also enjoyed baking, sewing, crafting, knitting, planting flowers, playing games and working puzzles. But her greatest passion was to have a personal relationship with Christ, raise her children to know Christ and to share Christ with others. Proverbs 20:7 "The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them" (NLT).
