Joann Carol Floyd Modderman was born on February 9, 1929 at Naeve Hospital to Perle and Dikka (Hovland) Floyd. She graduated from Albert Lea High School in 1947 and united in marriage to Russell Modderman on October 24, 1948, in Albert Lea. Russell and Joann raised 3 children, during which Joann had a variety of jobs interacting with the public. Joann loved to read and play cards/games with family and friends, especially when she was on the winning team and always said "It's about getting your name on the paper."
Joann passed away peacefully in hospice at St. Johns in Albert Lea, MN on November 9, 2016. Thank you to ALL who helped Joann and LeeAnn on this long journey the past 2 years.

Their love and encouragement provided Joann joy, comfort and laughter and kept her smiling through it all.
She was preceded in death by her husband Russell; parents Perle and Dikka; brother Warren Floyd; sister Lois Bogenshutz; twin sister Janet Ewing; grandson Travis Modderman and great granddaughter Kelsey Modderman.
She is survived by her children, Jim, LeeAnn, Rick and a daughter in-law, Marian; grandchildren, Melanie, Robert, Ryan and Richann; great-grandchildren, Tyler, Wyatt, Cameron, Dominic and Jayden; brother-in-law Ray Ewing and many loving nieces and nephews.
