Joanne Ruth May age 79 of Park Rapids, MN unexpectedly passed into eternal life on Saturday, May 21, 2016 surrounded by her loved ones at the Essentia Health Medical Center in Fargo, ND following a massive brain hemorrhage she had suffered hours earlier.
Joanne was born on Ausust 20, 1936 in Akeley, MN to Axel and Ella (Holberg) Ingman. She was baptized by Pastor Milton Grinsrud on October 9, 1936 and was confirmed by Rev. Karl O.R. Kiildahl on April 30, 1950. Joanne attended Akeley Public Schools from where she graduated high school and went on to attend Concordia College in Moorhead, MN.
On June 3, 1956 Joanne was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart, Don May. They were blessed with three children, Jeffrey, Dawn and Paul.
Joanne devoted her life to making a loving home for her husband and children. She was a very talented seamstress who could sew everything from dresses to curtains to snowmobile suits. She had many regular customers who would come to her for clothing alterations and repairs.
In addition to caring for her family Joanne also worked for Ringer Manufacturing and Haas printing.
She was a long time member of St. John's Lutheran Church where she was a faithful member of the Alter Guild, the prayer chain and in earlier years had sung in the church choir. Joanne also volunteered many hours with the St. Joseph's Area Hospice.
A list of her survivors can be read in her full obituary at the Jones-Pearson Funeral Homes site.
Joanne was preceded in death by her husband Don May who died in 2012, her parents and one grandson Jordon May (son of Jeff and Jill.)
Funeral services will be held 2PM Thursday May 26, 2016 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Park Rapids with the Pastor James Neubauer and Pastor Timothy Heinecke officiating.
Interment will be made next to her husband Don and her parents in the Akeley Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 5 to 8PM Wednesday May 25, 2016 at the Jones-Pearson Funeral Home in Park Rapids and will continue for one hour prior to the service on Thursday at the church.
Following the service a luncheon will be hosted by St. John's Lutheran Church.
