Joann Dalzell, age 52 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Tuesday, May 27, 2014. She had fought a valiant battle with cancer.

Joann grew up in Wayne and graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the class of 1979. She had been the office administrator for her brother’s business, Field Communications, Inc. of Wayne, for about twelve years.

Joann was a talented artist and enjoyed drawing with pencil and charcoal. She had also traveled quite a bit, having visited the Caribbean, Florida, California, and North Carolina. She would make frequent road-trips to visit her two grandchildren in Fayetteville, NC and loved to spend time with them. North Carolina was her favorite place to visit and she had been planning to retire to Wilmington with her husband someday. She loved going to Wrightsville Beach and relaxing the day away. Her family will surely cherish their memories together there.

Joann met her husband, Robert Dalzell, at T-Bowl in Wayne. It was 1979 when they were introduced by a mutual friend. A romance ensued and they were married on November 21, 1981. They enjoyed a honeymoon to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. During their honeymoon, they took a special day trip to Puerto Rico where they celebrated Thanksgiving with some friends before flying back to St. Croix. They have enjoyed thirty two years of loving marriage together.

Joann is survived by her dear husband Robert of Wayne, four children; Robert and his wife Jessica of Fayetteville, NC, Christopher and his fiancé Elli Leonida of Wayne, Matthew of Wayne, and Joanna of Wilmington, NC, two grandchildren; Brianna and Dylan Dalzell of Fayetteville, NC, her brothers; Robert Minarick and his wife Claire of Wayne, David Minarick and his wife Carol of Randolph, NJ, and one sister; Susan Bennett and her husband Bruce of Oak Ridge, and many nieces and nephews.
