Joanna Sheets May Obituary

Joanna May passed away peacefully in her sleep Thursday, January 21, 2021, two weeks before her 70th birthday. 


For the past five years, Joanna has dealt with many challenges including battling kidney cancer, enduring five major surgeries, spending eight weeks in a leg brace after breaking her knee cap, dialysis, and navigating her Bipolar disorder. She devoted the same energy trying to maintain a normal life during all of this as she did to all of her hobbies, projects, and social commitments. 


Joanna was born in Glendale, Arizona and graduated from Northern Arizona University. She later moved to Boise, Idaho in 1985. 


She was skilled in quilting, beading, painting, needle-point, crocheting, and was proficient in them all. She was proud to be a Deacon in her church two times. She also twice spoke to a group of psychiatrists about being Bipolar, its effects on her life, and how she was able to maintain a steady emotion through careful monitoring of her drugs and therapy. 
She is survived by her husband Revell, daughters Christine and Katie, and brother Lex. She will be remembered and missed by all who knew her.
