1960 – 2024
IN LOVING MEMORY
Joan (Howe) Labieniec

An Invitation
To celebrate Joan's life and to meet, and to share our collective memories​
Joan (Howe) Labieniec, 63, of Homer Glen, IL, led a vibrant life. And, we felt a great loss when she passed on April 15, 2024, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, IL, from kidney cancer, which she faced with astounding courage and grace.
Now, it’s time to honor Joan in the way she desired and would love: by coming together to share our memories, smiles, and laughter. We will fill the day with our remembrances to show a more complete and beautiful picture of her life.
​
Joan was born on April 25, 1960, in Ottawa, IL, to James and Rita (Thompson) Howe. She has two sons, Bryan and Jonathan Labieniec, and three brothers, James, Bob, and Bill. She attended Milton Pope Elementary School and Seneca High School, and obtained a BS degree and RN certification from St. Francis University. She was an amazingly kind and caring nurse, very much loved and admired by her co-workers.
Please join us in sharing more details of her life! Bring your stories, anecdotes, and laughter as we celebrate Joan the way she deserves—with joy, love, and plenty of shared smiles.
​
A buffet Lunch and open bar will be provided; a microphone will be available to anyone in attendance who would like to speak and share their thoughts and stories.
