Joanne Marie Farrelly of Campbellsville, Kentucky, formerly of Florida and Radcliff, Kentucky passed into the waiting arms of our Lord on Friday, February 14, 2020. She was 74. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she was the eldest of three siblings born to Virginia Rose Kearney and Calvin Eugene Perry. Joanne was the beloved mother of a doting daughter, Kelly Virginia Hemminger (David) of Floyds Knobs, Indiana and son, Sean Patrick Farrelly of Bunnell, Florida. Her passing reunited her with son, Eric Joseph Farrelly who predeceased her. Left to cherish her memory are seven grandchildren: Casey Pavlak (Cain), Nathan Hemminger, Nicholas Hemminger, Sam Hemminger, Eric Farrelly, Matthew Farrelly, and Courtney Farrelly. Joanne was dearly loved by one sister and two brothers; Sharon Papale (Ken) of New Jersey, Creighton Perry (Beth) of Florida, Gary Gambino (Deborah) of Ohio, and many nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed by her "$10,000 Ladies" whom she loved and enjoyed for many years for their friendship that she cherished and will also be missed by her loving and faithful "fur baby", Cookie. Joanne will be remembered by all who knew her as a fun-loving, energetic and adventurous lady that was always ready to take on a new project, plan a trip, or volunteer for an event. Nothing was too big. It was just a challenge to meet. A life-long reader, she was never without a book close by. She was a consummate crafter who dabbled in many things: sewing, scrapbooking, and miniatures. But her greatest joy was in creating miniature vignettes that were elaborately and pain-stakingly created. Each was a work of art. Always busy and involved, she owned and operated "Muffin's" Restaurant in Radcliff, Kentucky, was a professional cake decorator, caterer, and worked as a researcher and guide for the Historical Society of Jacksonville, Florida. She was manager of Officer Housing at Mayport Naval Station where she received a number of awards and commendations. Some of these awards are rarely awarded except for exceptional performance. She also was a dedicated worker at Krogers for a number of years. A visitation for Joanne will be at St. Christopher's Church, 122 S. Wilson Road, Radcliff, Kentucky from 10 to 11 am on Friday, February 21, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 at the Church. Interment will follow in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Fort Knox, Kentucky. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations in Joanne's name be made to the Kentucky Humane Society, 1000 Lyndon Lane, Suite B, Louisville, Kentucky, 40222 .
