Joanne Romansky was born on August 24, 1939 to Willard and Phyllis Neiman. Joanne went to Woodrow Wilson High School in East Camden. She was married to Thomas S. Romansky, Sr. on January 14, 1961 in a beautiful Ceremony at St. Joes Pro Cathedral Church in Camden. She leaves behind her husband of 65 years, two sons Tom Jr. (Kadja) and Michael, her Grandchildren Tyler and Hayley who were the love of her life, her sister Barbara Corney, her niece Robin Horst, numerous cousins, and tons of friends. Her love of her Catholic Faith and Family meant everything to her.

In addition to those loves, Joanne and Tom had a passion for travel. They loved traveling the globe and experiencing life together in Hawaii, Europe, Tahiti, Jamaica, Las Vegas, Florida, Mexico, as well as numerous cruises to Bermuda, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Alaska, and the Panama Canal were just a few of the places they traveled. Her favorite trip was back in 2007 when she took the entire family to Hawaii, because it wasn’t just the place but the memories that she made with all of us. And it goes without saying Joanne loved fashion, shopping, getting her hair done, and dressing to a T. Everything had to match. When they traveled, they would take 4 suitcases…three for her and one for her husband Tom.

Speaking of shopping she loved having a “Shop till you drop” outing with her dear friend Barbara Bleckly, having Date Nights with her friends Kathy and Lew Miller, and connecting with her school friends Eileen, Sally, Toot, and Susan. Her friends were numerous and the connections she had with everyone was truly special.

Joanne was involved with numerous clubs over the years including card club, her Beta Sigma Phi sorority, DuPont Veteranettes, and various organizations like Altar & Rosary at Queen of the Apostles Church. She loved going to plays and shows at Pitman and other Theaters, but most importantly loved doing anything with and for her husband, kids, and grandkids.

She also had numerous jobs over the years. Joanne started her career at RCA in Camden. Once she moved to Pennsville she worked for the School system, the Pennsville National Bank, and then spent 20+ years at DuPont. Although her favorite job of all time was being a Mom and a Grandmom. No one did it better. And no one gave back to others like Joanne. Anyone in need she would help with nothing expected in return. She touched as many lives as there are stars in the sky and this world was a better place because of her. And now that she is gone, she will never be forgotten. And we have no doubt that Heaven is a better place because of their newest Angel Joanne.
