JoAnn Marlene Severtson was born July 28, 1941 in Story City, Iowa to Joris and Bernice (Olson) Severtson. She grew up in McCallsburg, Iowa and graduated in the class of 1959. Upon graduation JoAnn ventured to Des Moines and became employed for Look Magazine.
On September 1, 1962 JoAnn was united in marriage to Roy Robert DeMoss. The couple made their home in Ames and were blessed with three children; Aaron, Kathy, and Dana. JoAnn raised her family and was employed with Holiday Inn.
JoAnn was a true Norwegian and her baking reflected that. She loved to make pies, kringla, and various desserts for her family and neighbors. The outdoors was also a passion of hers and she took great pride in her flowers gardens and enjoyed traveling to Canada while spending time fishing with Roy. In her down time, JoAnn and Roy found great peace sitting on their backyard swing watching birds and sharing memories together. JoAnn's faith and family were the center of her life, and she held them both close to her heart.
JoAnn will be missed by her husband of 53 years, Roy; children, Aaron (Susie) DeMoss, Kathy (Paul) Sliva, and Dana DeMoss all of Ames; five grandchildren, Jason and Nicole Sliva, Sam DeMoss, and Tobias and Akira DeMoss; brother, Wayne (Nancy) Severtson; sister, Susan (Denny) Bauman; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents; and twin brother, Jerry Severtson.
