Lasting Memories

JoAnne Sanford
1938-Oct. 14, 2015
Palo Alto, California

JoAnne Sanford, my wife of 28 years, passed away on Oct. 14, surrounded by her family after a long fight against Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. JoAnne was the light and love of my life. She cherished her family and was cherished by them. She is survived by her husband, Peter Kindschi; sisters, Nancy and Susan; two children, Wendy Olson and Gerry Cochran; four grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Born in 1938 in Chicago, Illinois, she grew up in Lansing, Michigan. It seemed that there wasn't anything she couldn't do. An accomplished artist, she enjoyed life to the fullest and traveled the world. JoAnne was adventurous, intelligent, fun, optimistic, resourceful, creative, brave, tenacious and loving. She was a joy to be around even in her most trying times with P.S.P. She was wonderful, very loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We love you so very much JoAnne!
