Joanna Herman

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Joanna Kay Herman, who departed this life on April 23rd, 2025, at the age of 71.

Born on February 8th, 1954, in Spring Arbor, Michigan, Joanna was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a creative and artist, an out of the box thinker, and ahead of her time. In her younger years, she worked for her father Hugh Fritz at his advertising company in Spring Arbor, Michigan, where she painted signs, playground equipment, and helped her father any way she could. Joanna loved all living things and simply enjoyed being in nature. As a mother and grandmother, she loved unconditionally, and supported her family through many changes. When she moved to Marietta, GA, she became involved in the Newcomers Club of Cobb County and made several close friends there. She especially enjoyed the book club, as Joanna was always reading a new book, if not several at once.

Joanna is survived by her husband, Dale Herman; her two children, Samantha Herman and Ethan Herman; her daughter in law, Lindsey Herman; her grandchild, Isla Herman; her sister, Sherry Wallace; and her dog, Roxy. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Hugh and Viola Fritz.

A private memorial service is being held with immediate family and close friends.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
