JoAnn was born in 1944 in Davenport, to Arthur and Marguerite Vens.  She was united in marriage to Dale Denklau on Sept. 2, 1972, in Davenport; he passed away December of 2017.  JoAnn was a breast cancer survivor who participated in the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure for many years.  She loved going to live auctions and would visit every garage sale that she saw.  Most of all, JoAnn loved to spend time with her family and friends, playing cards with them, or just sitting outside enjoying the nice weather.

Those left to honor her memory are her son, Mike (Lauren Maughan) Denklau; brothers Larry and Jerry (Judy) Vens; brother-in-law Dana Denklau; and her favorite pals, Muffin the dog and Buster the sheep.  She was preceded in death by her husband and her parents.
