Joanne (Hardy) Hensley

Joanne Hensley, 56 of Lake City passed away May 8, 2021 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Joanne was born December 12, 1964 in Middletown, OH to James & Ardis (Clickner) Hardy. Joanne was a hard worker in the PCA field for 20 years in the Lake City area. She was always willing to help others in need, but hated asking for any help for herself. She had a quick wit, was very stubborn, but had a heart of gold. She will be missed by all who knew her. Joanne loved outdoor activities, like camping, fishing, hiking and most of all spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by her children, Josh Hensley of Lake City, James Hensley of Red Wing, Cheryl (Andy) Clemons of Falmouth, KY; seven grandchildren, Brayden Hensley, Leland Hensley, Natalie Salazar-Hensley, Valeire Salazar-Hensley, Austin Clemons, Danica Clemons, Dylan Clemons; 5 siblings Barbara Mann of Lake City, Terry Helton of Racine, MN, Mary Reyes of Stewartville, MN, Andy (Tracy) Hardy of Reads Landing, MN, Myron (Jessica) Hardy of Lake City.
