Joanne F. Brandon

October 13, 1934 — May 7, 2025

Joanne Frances Brandon passed away on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Joanne was born on October 13, 1934, to William A. Keyes, Sr and Mary Judson (Dodd) Keyes in Chicago, Illinois.

Joanne loved her Lord and served him throughout her life. She was an Ordained Minister, witnessed to people, was active in the Prison Ministry, and gave her time, love, and patience to anyone in need. She took comfort in reading her Bible and using it as a life guide. She loved to travel, especially to the Holy Land. Her love for the Lord was only matched by the love she had for her family. Joanne’s love, laughter, advice, and humor will be missed by her family.

She was fearless when it came to sharing Gods love and plan of redemption to others. To her, there was no higher calling. She was a woman of integrity and all those who knew her greatly honored and esteemed her. Her Godly legacy, love and witness will be an impact for many generations. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Proverbs 31

Joanne is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Clyde Oscar Brandon, Jr., and her brothers Ed Keyes, and William A. Keyes, Jr. She is survived by her sons Dennis (Keila) Brandon, and William “Bill” Brandon; daughters Sherrill (Patrick) Gooch, and Laurie (Henry) Meador; grandchildren Kari (William) Stout, Jennifer (Andrew) Orr, Ashley (Preston) Wall, Heather Smith, Michael (Lea) Smith, and Austin Meador; great-grandchildren Ellis Orr, Arden Orr, Stratton Stout, Jacob Roberts, Owen Wall, Emma Wall, Amelia Smith, Madalyn Smith, Mark Krull, and Carson Wall. In addition, she is survived by her sister-in-law Jan Keyes and a host of extended family and friends.
