JoAnn M. Havel, 82, Casco, WI, passed away at home on March 12, 2026, just a week before her 83rd birthday. She was born on March 19, 1943, to the late Joseph and Ethel (Duescher) Boulanger.

She married her high school sweetheart Joe in 1964, beginning a lifelong partnership rooted in love and family. Early in her career, she worked as a secretary at Paper Converting in Green Bay before dedicating herself to raising her three kids, Scott, Todd, and Pam. She lived an active and fulfilling life, tending her gardens, sewing, and tying quilts, and lending a helping hand on the family farm. Each harvest season, she canned the produce from her garden to enjoy all winter. In her later years, her greatest joy came from her grandkids, Paige, Tyler, Nicki, and Collin. She treasured this time.

JoAnn is survived by her husband, Joseph Havel Jr.; children, Pamela Sylvain, Chicago; Todd Havel, Sun Prairie; Scott Havel, Seattle; grandchildren, Tyler Havel, Paige Havel and Nathan, Nicolette Sylvain, Collin Sylvain; and sister, Susan Robb, Saumico.

She was preceded in death by an infant son, Joseph; her parents, Joe and Ethel Boulanger; brother, Henry “Butch” Boulanger; sisters, Sandra Boulanger, and Patricia Naze.
