It is with a very heavy heart that we inform you that our
good friend, teacher and coworker, Joanne Howell passed
away. She was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma cancer
in February that was very aggressive and fast moving, and
Joanne passed away peacefully on March 30, 2021.
Joanne was raised in the Sunset district of San Francisco,
attended St. Anne’s of the Sunset Catholic School,
Presentation High School. Joanne later attended City
Program, Full of Fun Camp, and Siebecker Preschool, she
was an incredible advocate for the children in our program
and always put their needs first.
She was a huge Oakland A’s fan and her and her coworkers
and her would always text during any Bay Bridge Rivalry to
give each other grief when the other’s team won a game.
Joanne started working for the City of South San Francisco
in 1998 and has seen many of her kids come back to work
alongside her.
