Joanne was called home on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at Rock Run Assisted Living Home. She was born on August 13, 1932 to Florence (Reno) and William Yates. Joanne married Harold (Hap) Dailey in 1953. Harold and Joanne were blessed with four boys – Steve, Barry, Mike, and Tim. The Dailey clan made their home in New Lenox on East 4th Ave. Joanne was a Registered Nurse receiving her Bachelors degree from St Xavier University.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Mom. Though I didn't know her well, I remember her as a warm and kind person. I had a chance to speak with her at Fr. Gerold's funeral and we had a lovely conversation - I was so impressed with her. In sympathy

Joanne was such a sweet and kind woman. I'll never forget the first time she decided to join the Chorale group - she was shy and afraid she wouldn't fit in. Boy did she ever fit in. Funny, kind, sweet, just a few words to describe this wonderful woman. We were so sad to see her leave choir and move away. But Joanne was always in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in God's loving arms Joanne and say Hi to my husband when you see him in Heaven. Hugs to Joanne's family.

Grandma Joanne~we will miss you at Aiden's 3rd birthday party...at the birth of your great-grand daughter in April... the Humphrey's Fourth of July celebrations, only to mention a few! it seems like we have known you longer than we have. The first time was at Michelle's graduation when Brandon was in Afghanistan. (I was so worried if everyone would like me....& if I would fit into your family??)Well....Grandma Joanne~when I met you, I felt very accepted & knew how lucky

The first time was at Michelle's graduation when Brandon was in Afghanistan. (I was so worried if everyone would like me....& if I would fit into your family??)Well....Grandma Joanne~when I met you, I felt very accepted & knew how lucky Brandon was to be dating Michelle. You were sweet, spunky and funny! Loved hearing about your early nursing days~ I know you are at peace & have gone to heaven. Please keep an extra watchful eye on Michelle (& her family) during these next few weeks. If you have any connections... bless them with a guardian angel. Our life was blessed to have known you! We will miss you!❤To your family~we share in your sorrow & loss. Blessings & love, Kelly & Cole Humphreys
