Joanne L. Hower

September 20, 1942 — August 27, 2024

Lebanon

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Joanne L. Hower, 81, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Joanne passed away on August 27, 2024, at her home in Lebanon, PA, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on September 20, 1942, in Lebanon to Joseph H and Sara A. (Heckendorn) Lengle. Joanne had a kind and caring spirit, always putting others before herself. She will be remembered for her warm smile, generous heart, and unwavering love for her family. Joanne's memory will be cherished by her devoted husband of 63 years, Glenn Hower, her loving children Suzanne Kistler (David), Scott Hower (Lynn), and Kristin DeLaney (Bill); her adored grandchildren Justin Hower, Alexa Hower, Nate Kistler, and Lucas DeLaney. Throughout her life, Joanne found solace in her faith, attending services at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Bath, PA, and First Commonwealth UCC in Ft. Pierce, FL during her time there as a Snow Bird. She had a green thumb, finding joy in gardening, and found peace in the pages of her favorite books and coloring. An avid sports fan, Joanne loved watching the Phillies and cheering on Penn State. A Memorial Service to celebrate Joanne's life will be held at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 3175 Valley View Dr, Bath, PA 18014 on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 11:00 am, with visitation beginning at 10:00 am.
