Joanne Collette Venaleck

July 29, 1945 - March 7, 2020

Joanne Collette Venaleck, gifted to us July 29, 1945, and called by God March 7, 2020 Formerly of Walton Hills, Joanne moved to Florida when her Parents retired, where she spent most of her adult life. Joanne worked in various positions for 20 years at SunTrust, and performed office clerical duties in a doctor's practice. However, her favorite job was at a Cape Coral Day Care where the children became a big part of her life. Joanne is very proud to have attained Child Development Professional (CCP) Certification. She moved back to Ohio a decade ago. For Joanne, Family is everything. Her Family is eternally grateful for the love and devotion given in the care of her Parents. Joanne is predeceased by her Parents, beloved Howard “Joe” and Coletta Venaleck, brothers, Howard (Judy) and David (Unise). She is survived by her Brother, John “Jack” Venaleck, Sr. (Joan / Carole Clement), Nephew John Venaleck, Jr. (Christine), cherished Great Nephew Andrew Venaleck and Great Niece, Ashley Venaleck; and many other nieces, nephews and cousins Joanne has always kept close in heart. We thank all those who have cared about and for Joanne for their kindness and condolences. Through all the challenges Joanne bravely faced, she never complained. Joanne will forever be remembered for her unique candy creations and favors donated to Maple Leaf Community Residences, MLCR.org. Heaven is a sweeter place and she is arriving just in time to share her chocolates for Easter. We take solace in knowing she, too, is risen up and free of her frailties. A private Family interment is planned. Gentle and generous Soul and Friend to all creatures, great and small, donations are suggested to The Lake County Humane Society, lakehumane.org; and Hospice of The Western Reserve, hospicewr.org. Arrangements entrusted to the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 8466 Mentor Ave., Mentor, OH 44060. Please offer condolences at www.brunners.com.
