She has three sons, Donald, Larry and David Holcomb. She attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, graduating in 1965 with a bachelor degree in Christian Education. She worked for twenty years as an Administrative Services Officer for the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas, Southwestern Medical School (UTHSCD), retiring in 1994.
She married Emery Tuttle in 1971, attesting he is her soul-mate and her inspiration for adventure. Emery has three daughters and one son. Together, they have 18 grand-children, 24 great-grand-children and two great-great-grand-children. But, JoAnne lays claim to being first to become a great-great-grandmother; nevertheless, Emery claims them as his, too.
JoAnne has always written poetry, but only in the past few years did she began to collect these poems from old envelopes, notebooks and scratch paper to compile them into a book. She also composes all of her greeting cards.
Another hobby she loves is sewing. She especially loves making quilts for the grandbabies, family and friends. She enjoys doing scrap-crafting, making something from someone else’s ‘trash,’ and calling it her “Renewed Treasures.” She loves to travel, claiming “adventure” is her middle-name.
In 2001, at age 67, JoAnne attained her private pilot’s license; three years after Emery acquired his license at age 76. Emery was a WWII pilot, but had not flown in over 50 years and had to start fresh. Since obtaining their licenses, they have traveled the U.S. together in their single-engine-home-built RV-6A plane. Adventure is their cup of tea.
They designed and built their home at Cedar Creek Lake in 1991, and have enjoyed many projects and adventures together over the years. They are active in their church and community and their life’s statement continues to be – “It’s not over ‘til it’s over.”vizualizați mai puține
