A2 Announcements/Obituaries wallowa.com February 8, 2017 Wallowa County Chieftain O BITUARIES Enterprise honor roll announced JoAnne R. Cornett March 30, 1943 — Jan. 19, 2017 JoAnne R. Cor- nett, age 73, of Joseph; passed away suddenly in her home on Thurs- day, January 19th, 2017. She was born March 30, 1943 in Kirkland, Washington, to the late Bill and Dorothy Chit- wood; who, a few years later moved their fami- ly, with JoAnne and son Harold, to Joseph. In 1961, JoAnne graduat- ed high school and shortly thereafter married Gayle Harshfi eld. Soon their son Michael Harshfi eld was born, but sadly Gayle passed away when Michael was only 2. JoAnne later married Jerry Cornett in 1966, and together they had her daughter Sherri. Jerry and JoAnne divorced in 1979, but always re- mained friends. JoAnne worked for 12 years for the Joseph School District in the cafeteria; where she tireless- ly made homemade rolls, served warm food, and bright smiles daily. Laughter could often be heard in the halls as her and her co-workers always had a great time together while making nutritious and hearty meals for the students and faculty. She also appreciated the “free” summers from school where she found new opportunities as a grain-truck driver, a fl agger for the state highway department, and an attendant at Wallowa Lake State Park where she en- joyed the versatility, people, and just being outdoors. At age 40, JoAnne took on one of her biggest challenges when she became a Merchant Marine for ARCO Co. For nine years she worked on an oil lin- er, fi rst as a mess person and then was promoted to cook-baker. Caring for and preparing meals for an entire crew of an oil tanker three football fi elds long, through rough and rolling seas, was a constant challenge; though one to which she gave her all and all the while looking her best, no matter how rough the sea. When she got a shore-to-ship call saying she had a new grandson, she began thinking about retiring and being home with her family. However, the friends and memories she made on the high seas, which took her from Alaska to the Panama Canal, were always near and dear to her. JoAnne’s interests were numerous and her hob- bies were painting/sketching (she often made her own Christmas cards), interior design of her cozy home, and watching sports; particularly the sports played by her kids, grandkids, and their teammates. Cheering her loved ones to victory was one of her greatest joys. She also loved spending time with fam- ily and friends, where she so closely touched many lives with her warm smile, quick wit, words of wis- dom, and contagious laughter. Her best friends Donna Smith and Sandy War- nock got together whenever they could for dinners, discussions, and always their annual Christmas party; where the three of them would have a delicious meal and exchange their gifts. They went to great lengths to get just the right gift and make it a big surprise, whether it was sheets, boots, a coat, or even a new wheelbarrow. JoAnne is survived by her son, Michael Harsh- fi eld, and his wife Lillian; daughter Sherri Swindle- hurst and her husband Ryan; grandchildren Ryan, Ty- ler, and Taylor Harshfi eld; and she also leaves behind numerous other loving relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, William Virgil and Dorothy Alida Chitwood; her husband, Gayle Harshfi eld; step-father, Sanford Thorpe; and her brother, Virgil Harold Chitwood. Family, friends, and so many others whose lives have been touched by JoAnne are invited to the new Enterprise Christian Church located at 85035 Joseph Highway, Enterprise, OR 97828 on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 1 p.m. Donations can be made in JoAnne’s name, to the Enterprise Christian Church for those who desire to do so. JoAnne’s family wishes to ex- tend a gracious thank you for all the love, support, cards, fl owers, food, kind words and prayers during these diffi cult times. The following quote was found among JoAnne’s notes: “Life’s not about learning to weather the storm; but rather learning to dance in the rain.” Enterprise Jr/Sr High School Honor Roll - 2nd Quarter 2016-17 Ina Ann Scott Sandlin March 19, 1934 — Jan. 21, 2017 Ina Ann Scott Sandlin, 82, went to be with the Lord on Jan. 21, 2017, surrounded by loved ones at her home in En- terprise.
