Having lived a life of joy, laughter and love, JoAnna Marie Toles Cramer passed away peacefully on February 23, 2025, at the age of 79, surrounded by her loved ones.

JoAnna's passionate love of life extended far and wide touching many lives. Born on January 13, 1946, she was a loyal and dedicated daughter to her parents and a loving little sister.

She embraced life with grace and left us a tapestry of warm memories and enduring relationships, woven with the threads of her unwavering love and wisdom.

JoAnna was a proud graduate of Tulare Union High School from 1960-1964 and Tulare Western High School from 1964-1965 in Tulare, CA.

She gave her hand to be baptized into the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn to Brother Cecil Rossiter on November 9, 1964, at Three Rivers, CA.

JoAnna started a hope chest as a young woman preparing to start her life in the faith. She filled it with gratitude, joy, trust, grace and love for the Lord. She patiently waited for God's promises and placed her hope and trust in God, much like someone would store precious items in a hope chest. One of the things that JoAnna put in her hope chest was for God to provide her a godly husband. God provided a man that exceeded her expectations when she met Loyd Junior Cramer. After a short time, they were married on January 1, 1965, in Tulare, CA. In their 32 years together, they were blessed with four children, Daren Lee, Michael Loyd, Robert Craig, and Elysia Dawn Anna. She instilled in them kindness and humor. Her legacy further blossomed with her cherished grandchildren: Joshua Kendall, Zachary Loyd & wife Koby, Erick Michael & wife NaTara, Abigail LeAnna & husband Adam; Elizabeth Ann Marie & husband Jase; Ryan Craig and Faith Sarai. She was blessed to see the world enriched by 7 great grandchildren: Dream, Rowan, Greyson, Cassius, Jett, Rallie, And Ryker.

JoAnna now reunites with her parents, Robert Loren Toles and Pearl Marie Covington Toles; husband Loyd Junior Cramer, son Daren Lee Cramer; Her siblings "Bill" William Arthur and wife Doroles Dykeman Toles, Sybel Laverne Toles Rossiter and husband Evert Rossiter, Geraldine Toles Corter and husband Harvey Corter, Mary Maxine Toles, Bobby Toles and wife Judith Hoover Toles; brother in laws Chester Allen and Earl Taylor.

Some of her passions were being a helpmate to the brethren by combing the sisters' hair for over 20 years and sitting up with the sick, spending time with family, sewing, crocheting, playing dominoes with family, immersing herself in the pages of her Bible, and her love of traveling.

JoAnna's journey was marked by her loving nature, funny anecdotes and her wise counsel. She was a living testament to the power of positivity and the strength of family bonds. Her story encourages us all to cherish every moment, to laugh often, to love without limits.

JoAnna's light will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew her, guiding us like a lighthouse of love and resilience.

She leaves behind sons Michael Loyd Cramer and wife Michelle Wittman Cramer, Robert Craig Cramer and wife Sonya Hicks Cramer, Daughter Elysia Dawn Anna Cramer. Her sister, "Sis" Glenda Allen Taylor; grandchildren, great grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends and brethren to honor her spirit. She reunites with Loyd Junior Cramer her one true love in Eternal Peace.
