Joanne Kathryn Campbell (ne Pascarella) died peacefully surrounded by family in Ocala, FL on October 21, 2018 at the age of 72. Joanne was born on August 23, 1946 in Tampa, FL.

She worked for the College of Education at the University of South Florida for about 15 years before joining the Florida Department of Law Enforcement where she served for 30 years finishing her career as a senior Crime Intelligence Analyst. At the same time, she raised three beautiful girls. Her children know her as a loving, wonderful mother who always put others needs ahead of her own. She was spirited and adventurous, a bright and cheerful personality who always loved to laugh. Always had the best intentions and wasnt afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve. She raised three tough and successful daughters all on her own with grace, dignity, patience and unwavering love. A better mother we cannot imagine and are so very proud that we were blessed with her presence for as long as we were given. Her incredible strength and spirit will remain forever in our hearts and minds, guiding us through life and its obstacles until we join her again. Joanne was an accomplished pianist initially pursuing becoming a professional classical pianist until she was blessed with her greater love of becoming a mother. She was an incredibly talented, witty and faithful individual who loved her family and fianc dearly, and who was passionate about nature, animals, sports and trivia. Her smile, charisma and charm could brighten any room and her presence will surely be missed. Joanne is survived by her children, Jeannette Capella of Des Moines, IA, Michelle Agnew of Boulder, CO and Renee Riffee of Austin, TX, her grandchildren, Brianna Agnew, Morgan Agnew, Marley Riffee and Beckham Riffee and her fianc, Ron Ebel of Ocala, FL.
