- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
Joanne Kusmanick
“This too shall pass.“ Joanne never let life’s road bumps affect her attitude. Lest she not forget to be thankful she kept a journal of everything good that happened to her. The check out line at the dollar store or Kohl’s was a social experience for Joanne. She’d leave the store with some purchased items and a bunch of new friends. She thought the most powerful part of the body should be the ear. Joanne was a powerful listener. Her home was always open to her kid’s friends who used her as a sounding board; she gave sage advice. Clients at ARC in Woodbury also found a home in her craft room where Joanne taught them to make craft items to sell. As a child summers were spent in Brigantine where she collected shells and never got her bathing suit wet. When burgers were 28 cents her gang hung out at the McDonalds in Woodbury. It‘s there the Deptford High girl named Joanne would meet a Woodbury High guy named John. Their 43 year marriage was blessed with a son John 3rd (Jamie) and daughter JoElla (James) and 2 grandchildren, Jonas and Jada. Joanne is survived by her 2 brothers, John and Ed Blansche and her sister, Lynn Stott and her mother Joan.
Come celebrate 62 giving years Thursday October 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio where the service will begin at 4 p.m.
Donations in memory of Joanne to Cooper Foundation, Ferry Terminal Bldg 2 Aquarium Dr., Camden 08103 will be appreciated.

Love you. Always in oir hearts.
Joanne will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to meet her. Our prayers will never end – may God be with you.
She and Jan saved my life 9yrs ago and gave me back so many things I had been careless about. My sanity and serenity was always a phone call away and there will be a place in my heart that belongs to her always. She is forever a part of my life’s story and the story I’ll pass down for generations to come. Bill W. gave me a gift the day I met you Jo.
We are so grateful to have such a special lady in our lives. Our love and prayers for John, Johnny , JoElla and the entire family. Rest in Peace Joanne, fly high and watch over all of us….Heaven has truly gained another Angel…We love you, kiss our boy for us.
Love,
Jake and Teri Gogstad
I loved how I could always spend hours talking with Joanne….even if JoElla wasn’t home. There aren’t enough words to describe how much she will be missed. I love you all, Kusmanick family. A piece of our heart is in Heaven.
May God bless, you have earned your seat! My honor to have known you!
I am so sorry for the loss of a great gal and longtime friend….She will be missed…
you are both in my prayers for ever
Joanne was a kind spirited person who lit up a room when she entered. I have had the pleasure of meeting her along my journey. She will be sadly missed. Rest In Peace my friend❤️
Dear JoElla, John and Kusmanick family, Greg, Lexi and I are so sorry to hear about Mom’s passing. I was only lucky to be in her company a handful of times throughout her life, but the moments we shared Joanne certainly did light up the room with her smile, always made you feel welcome. Very special lady.
Such a warm, loving tribute to a beautiful soul and person. Always to be loved and never forgotten.
Our condolences to John and family,
Karen Fraietta & children Maria, Anthony and MIchael
