Joanne Galloway

We regretfully announce the passing of Jo Anne Galloway of Derby, Kansas on December 20, 2021. Jo Anne passed away peacefully due to underlying health issues exacerbated by contracting the corona virus.

Our mother, Jo Anne, was one of the strongest and kindest women to ever walk this earth and our family was blessed to have her as the head of the family.

Jo Anne attended Western Kentucky University. While attending college she married Dickey D. Galloway and together they went on to have three children. After Dickey’s retirement from the U.S. Air Force they settled in Derby Kansas in 1974. Being a mother and Grand Mother was one of the most important parts of Jo Anne’s life, a role that gave her much pride and joy. She was an excellent mom, supportive, kind, hilarious, and witty and we will all miss her dearly.

Jo Anne was predeceased by her husband Dickey D. Galloway. She is survived by her Sister Norma Beeler, Son-David Galloway, Daughter In Law-Beth Galloway, Son-Perry Galloway, Daughter In Law-Cindy Galloway, Son-Tim Galloway, Daughter In Law-Peggy Galloway, 13 Grandchildren and 7 Great-grandchildren.

Please consider a donation in Jo Anne’s name to The First Presbyterian Church of Derby, as her faith in God and the church family were important to her. Memorial services will be held 11:00am Saturday, March 19, at the First Presbyterian Church of Derby.
