Joanne Lynn Spady, 57, passed away at

her home in Libby, Mont., on Oct. 2, 2011.

She was born Nov. 16, 1953, in Libby to

Robert “Bud” and Evelyn (Knutson) McNulty. Joanne grew up and

attended school in Libby.

Spady in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. They returned to Libby, making their

Joanne loved flowers and taking care of

their yard. She was also very ‘crafty’—enjoying crocheting, making

candles, going through old pictures and making scrapbooks.

with her grandchildren. Joanne loved being a grandmother.
