Joanne Mulry, 82, of Indianapolis, IN passed from this life on December 5, 2021, with complications from COVID.
She was born September 20, 1939, in Goshen, Indiana and raised in Sturgis, Michigan. Joanne was a devoted and loving wife and mother who was so proud of everyone in her big family. She retired after many years as an executive assistant at Calvary Temple of Indianapolis. She enjoyed life, and could always be found with a good book. In fact, she worked part-time for a few years at Barnes & Noble post-retirement to support her book habit! Joanne was dearly loved and her sweetness and spunk will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, James "Jim" and her children, Mickey (Debbie) Mulry, Cheryl (Chad) Temple, Kelly (Joe) Hayes, Jimmy Mulry, Melani Terrell, and her brother, Jerry Bricker.
She had 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, with 2 more on the way.
She was preceded in death by Phyllis Reilly (mother), Robert "Bob" Reilly (step-father), Caryl Adams (sister) and Clifford "Tipp" Bricker (brother).
Joanne’s ashes will be laid to rest with her children and husband as she wanted.
A life well-lived and all the joy she brought to so many will be remembered in a Memorial Service on Sunday, January 2, 2022, at 6:00 pm at Church 52 Family Worship Center, 8220 Brookville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46239.
