Joanne M. Mansfield
Joanne Mary Mansfield (Allenza), 81, of Jamestown passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 10 At UPMC Chautauqua. She was born on Nov. 7, 1942 in Dunkirk, NY. She graduated from Falconer High School and was a graduate of Jamestown Business College. Joanne worked for several years at CARTS (Chautauqua County Regional Transit) as a Transport Coordinator.
Joanne was a beautiful person inside and out. She had a very big and giving heart and she was always there whenever she was needed. Joanne loved her children deeply and was blessed with two beautiful granddaughters and delightful great-grandsons. She loved cooking for family and made amazing spaghetti and meatballs. Joanne and Sam enjoyed playing games and they made several memorable trips to Cape Cod to spend time with her sisters and their husbands. She had a wide circle of friends with whom she enjoyed dining and dancing. She loved dressing up and enjoyed picking “unknown” bands to see-especially those who played motorcycle music. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Joanne is survived by her son, Fred (Elaine) Mansfield of Hubert, NC, Debbie (Jeff Yahner-significant other) Lee of Falconer, NY, two Grandchildren, Erin (Greg) Smith and Haley (Eric) Graham and two great-grandchildren, Grant and Tate from Cary, NC, and sisters Diane (Dave) Weishaupt and Judy (John) Heron from Massachusetts.
She was preceded in death by her fiance, Sam Lisciandro, father, Russell Allenza, mother, Mildred Foti Allenza, and grandson-in-law, Christian Carlson.
Friends will be received by the family at the Falconer Funeral Home on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. At 1 p.m., a brief memorial service will occur. Pastor Dan Soderberg will officiate.
