Joanne Zucco Berneche passed away in February 2023.

Joanne taught at William Woods University in Fulton, Stephens College, the University of Missouri and Columbia Public Schools, where she taught young learners about art until she was a youthful 72 years old.

Joanne continued to produce art and was preparing for a show at the time of her death. Her talent was displayed in many art shows in the area including Central Methodist University, the Missouri State Fair where she placed in the top 50 every year, the State Historical Society of Missouri and the Columbia Art League of which she held the title of president at one time.

Joanne made everyone she met feel special. She took an interest in the children and grandchildren of friends and would remember them with small gifts or items from her eclectic home.

She was devoted to her family, neighbors and friends. Joanne had a stylish way of dressing and was never seen in public without her jewelry, matching shoes and coat.
