Joanie was born May 18, 1959 in Albia, IA, daughter of William L. and Marcia K. (Larson) Reichow.  She was raised and educated in Monmouth, IL graduating from Monmouth High School in 1977 where she was a gifted athlete. She later attended Monmouth College.

Joanie was a very active outdoors person who enjoyed walking her dog, hunting, traveling, being by any body of water, golfing, landscaping and shopping.  One of her biggest joys and passions was raising, showing and training Arabian horses. Another joy was going on family fishing trips to Lake Wabaskang in Ontario, Canada as a tradition for over 50 years.  Those trips extended over many generations of the Reichow family including Joanie’s grandparents, parents, siblings, children and cousins.  She loved her family and enjoyed gatherings with her family and her friends. Above all else, Joanie lived for her daughters, parents, grandchildren and family. She will be missed beyond measure.
