Joann Newby

JoAnn Newby, 69, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, passed away on Friday, October 16, 2020, in her home.  JoAnn was born on January 17, 1951, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to the late Regina and John Tatalajski.  She was a Manager at the Millersville Branch of Tower Federal Credit Union for over 31 years, and was the Co-Queen of the Bodacious Sassy Scarlet Sisters of the Red Hat Society.  Family was everything to JoAnn, however, she also enjoyed arts & crafts, planning parties and family get-togethers, and she tailored donated wedding gowns for families to use to wrap their precious baby in for their final journey, through the NICU Helping Hands Angel Gown Program.

JoAnn is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, Chuck “Bubba” Newby; her beloved son, Tim Newby and his wife, Melissa; her cherished granddaughter, Ella Newby, whom JoAnn would babysit and play with; her dear sisters, Regina “Cookie” Collins and her husband Russell, and Julie “Jill” Schlein and her husband Uffe; and many sisters-in-law, nieces & nephews.
