Obituary

JoAnn Morton Lonergan was called to her eternal home on Friday, November 12, 2021, at the age of 73 surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Helena Morton. JoAnn is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 51 years, Nicholas Clarence Lonergan III, her son, Nicholas C Lonergan IV, her daughter-in-law Kim, and her daughter Nicole Marie Kennedy. She is also survived by four grand children, Nicholas C. Lonergan V (Anna), Colson Lonergan, Koryn Kennedy, and Jacob Kennedy. She is also survived by two brothers Gerard Morton and John Morton Jr. (Leslie) and nieces Julia and Caroline Morton. JoAnn graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in Chalmette and retired from Bell South Communications. JoAnn and Nick moved from Kenner after 29 years in 1999 to Mandeville, La where they resided for 22 years. She was a parishioner of Mary Queen of Peace Church and made so many friends and acquaintances. JoAnn prayed for many, and many prayed for her with her ongoing fight with two types of cancer, unfortunately not getting past the final fight with her most recent cancer. She is grateful for all the doctors and nurses who helped her through her fight. She was most grateful for her home health nurse, Whitney Johnson, who was like a second daughter to her, always available for her special needs. JoAnn had many close friends and neighbors who were her support groups which naturally made her feel upbeat about beating her illnesses. Prior to her illness, she belonged to several Square Dance clubs involved in numerous social events. She enjoyed being with the wives of members of the Knights of Columbus.
