Joanne Herron
November 23, 1942 — February 19, 2011
Joanne A. Herron age 68 of Lake City passed away Saturday, February 19, 2011 at the Lake City Nursing Home.
Joanne was born November 23, 1942 in Lake City to George & Marcene (Meincke) Herron. Joanne left home for Cornell University, graduating with degrees in Textile Design and Organic Chemistry in 1964. She found success in multiple careers.
Joanne was trained by IBM as a Systems Engineer in San Francisco and 12 years later was named VP of the Treasury Divisions Systems at Bank of America. In 1978 she took a position with Levi Strauss where she became a Division Merchandise Director; a position taking her on world travel, Europe for style direction, San Francisco to direct design & development, and Asia to place production, and she loved it.
In 1998 Joanne retired from Levi's and pursued her third love, renovating interesting properties. She completed a beach house in Santa Barbara, a penthouse in NYC and a cottage on the steps of Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. 2009 brought Joanne home to Lake City when her Interstitial Lung Disease became aggressively worse. She reconnected with many childhood friends and was instrumental in organizing the Class of 1960"S 50th Reunion, last June.
Joanne is survived by her mother, Marcene Herron of Lake City; two brothers, Robert (Nancy) Herron of Lake City, Richard (Kathy) Herron of Lake City; four nephews and a niece and her many great friends. She was preceded in death by her father George.

Burial will be in St. John's Cemetery in Lake City. Visitation will be Tuesday from 4 to 7 at the Mahn Family Funeral Home Anderson-Peterson Chapel Lake City.
