Jo Anne M. Falkowski

Jo Anne M. Falkowski (née Lonetti), age 62, of Folsom, PA, passed away on May 20, 2024. She was a cherished wife, devoted mother, doting grandmother, and dear friend to many. 

Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late Domenick and Joan F. Lonetti (née Siegrist).

Jo Anne's journey through life was marked by kindness, creativity, and an unwavering dedication to her family and friends. Her vibrant spirit was evident from a young age and continued to shine brightly throughout her life.

Jo Anne pursued a career as a Credentialing Coordinator, bringing her passion for organization and attention to detail to the workplace every day. Her commitment to excellence and her warm demeanor made her not only a valuable colleague but also a beloved mentor to many in her field.

Outside of work, Jo Anne enjoyed a rich tapestry of hobbies and interests that brought her immense joy. Whether she was immersed in a good book, tending to her garden, unleashing her creativity through arts and crafts, or simply basking in the beauty of nature at the beach or state parks, Jo Anne found contentment in the simple pleasures of life. She relished family trips to Disney World, friendly games of bowling or tennis, engaging in outdoor activities, or sailing away on relaxing cruises.

Jo Anne's true passion, however, lay in spending quality time with her loved ones. Her husband Richard Falkowski was not only her partner in life but also her rock; together they built a life filled with love and shared memories. Jo Anne's children Danielle Trappanese (Len), Richard Falkowski Jr., and Jessica Falkowski were the light of her life, each carrying forward a piece of her kind spirit into the world. Her grandchildren Rya and Remy held a special place in Jo Anne's heart, bringing endless joy and laughter into her days. She is also survived by her siblings Michele DeVito, Lisa Brown, Rose Browning, Maggie Paone, and Pattie Woods. Predeceased by her brothers Frankie and John Lonetti.
