JoAnn was born on October 25, 1959 in Royse City, Texas, to the late Clarence and Coline Whetstone Foster. She was a graduate of Royse City High School where she was a stand-out player on the basketball team. She later went on to be a homemaker, nanny and day care teacher, all while never straying very far from her hometown. She was a member of New Hope Baptist Church of Royse City where she was a member of the choir. Her faith and love for The Lord was displayed in all aspects of her daily life. After retiring, she spent her time searching for bargains in order to help those in need.

Those who knew her would say she made the world a more beautiful place with just her presence and ability to find the beauty in every situation. She had a laugh that was contagious and a smile that could light up the room. Her love of music and dancing made her the life of the party.
