JoAnn was born in Harrisburg, the daughter of the late Joseph and Bertha Rogers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her two husbands, Ronald K. Swartzell, Sr. and George G. Pote and her two sons, Ronald K. Swartzell, Jr. and Roger K. Swartzell.

She is survived by her daughter in law Kimberly S. Swartzell of Camp Hill; step-daughters, Denise Burkhardt (Karl) of Camp Hill and Darlene Fuller (Michael) of Columbia, MD; grandchildren, Cliff and Lillian Swartzell; Ryan (Leann) and Travis Murphy, Jennifer Fuller (Sam) and Michelle Faulconer (Logan); and three great grandchildren.

Graveside services will be held at Rolling Green Cemetery on Thursday, June 17, at 11am with the Rev. Stephen Gallaher officiating. There will be no viewing or visitation.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions in JoAnn’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memorials Processing 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959.
