JoAnn Castillo (nee Gianotti) was born September 30, 1939 and passed away August 6, 2022.  She was born in San Antonio to Frank and Lucille Gianotti.

JoAnn had a caring, beautiful nature.  She selflessly gave of herself to so many in her life. After her husband Gilbert passed in 1979, she never remarried. JoAnn raised her two daughters on her own and was a devoted mother.  JoAnn was known as the fun Aunt and many gathered in her welcoming home over the years.

She lived next door to her parents and often made her famous iced tea and fried chicken for those that visited. She loved life and loved to laugh and smile.  She always thought of everyone else first and remembered everyone's birthday.

JoAnn was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Lucille Gianotti, her husband Gilbert Castillo, her brothers Frank Gianotti and Eugene Gianotti, and her sister Blanche Garza.

She is survived by her daughters Janelle Brewer and Gina Castillo, son-in-law Kent, and numerous family members and friends. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and loved her.
