Born on September 5, 1937 in Danbury, CT, daughter of the late Arthur and Elda (Mancucci) McCormack. JoAnn was a 1955 graduate of Danbury High School.

JoAnn was happily married to George Pomeroy for only a few years before his tragic passing in 1960. She was a strong willed and independent person surviving on her own raising three young children after the passing of George.

JoAnn had many part time jobs when her children were young, once they grew, she became the Second in Charge at the Southbury Training School. She used her strength every day in her job to help the students there.

Mrs. Pomeroy was parishioner of Sacred Heart Church, having raised her kids there. She loved to garden and could be seen outside weeding and tending to not only her garden but also her families’ gardens. In her younger years she enjoyed being part of the bowling league with her friends. Her greatest joy in life was her family, raising her children brought her so much joy.

JoAnn is survived by her loving children; Joseph Pomeroy, Karen Pomeroy, Sandra (Wayne) Peck, her grandchildren; Robert Repko (Mariah), Ashleigh Repko, Tyler Peck, Kyle Pomeroy and Meghan Barrett and her great grandchildren Kayla and Kyle and her brother Arthur, her best dog and companion Phoebe and several nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her sisters; Carol and Shirley.
