She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Doris Arndt and her son, James Edward Barnes, Jr. Joanne is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Shuman; son, Jeff Barnes (Janice); grandchildren, Ashlee & Carissa Fiedler; Tanner Barnes; Siarra Shuman; sisters Linda Leigh (Bill) and Cathie Leigh (Tom); and brother Robert Arndt (Sue).
