Joan E. Wampole
Joan Eileen Wampole, 60, passed away March 9, 2023, in Osseo.
Joan was born December 13, 1962, to Roy Ulness and Belva Ofte in Black River Falls. Joan loved her family, the outdoors and Sudoku. Joan was always out-of-doors, enjoying her yardwork and her flower gardens. She loved to travel, whether it was Sunday drives and local area jaunts, or going to Nelson’s for Ice Cream south of Durand on Route 35 or sight-seeing out west. She loved her trips out west, whether it was just her and John or with larger family gatherings, seeing the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, The Devil’s Tower, the Black Hills, Souix Falls and Mount Rushmore and so much more. Joan enjoyed going out for dinner. She could spend hours visiting with her friends that came over or just on the phone. And Joan was a Sudoku whiz. Even when others got hung up, she’d figure it out — always.
Joan is survived by her husband, John Wampole; sons: Christopher and Curt Wampole; daughters: Cheryl (Allen) Dahl, and Michele (Tim) Berger; sisters: Donna (Dennis) Olson, Carol (Stanley Johnson) Ulness, Shirley (Al) Austad, Joyce (Mark) Wampole, Brenda (Scott) Melby, and Karen (Paul) Chirhart; and by grandchildren: Christopher Jr, Zachery, and Desiree Wampole, Mickayla Berger, Matthew Wampole, and Andrew and Ryan Dahl.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers: Roger Ulness and Darrell Ulness; and nephews: Chad, Christopher and Jason.
