Bricker

Joanne F. Bricker, 79, of Cabot, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family Friday, Jan. 23, 2026.

Born Sept. 3, 1946, in Winfield, she was the daughter of Joseph C. Brozenick and Evelyn M. Freehling Brozenick.

Joanne was a talented cook and baker. Joanne enjoyed vacationing, gambling and reading. She was always at her most content spending time with her family. She was a wonderful mother to her three children and an amazing mother-in-law. The only thing she cherished more than her children were her grandchildren. Over the years she gained more “bonus” kids and grandkids than could ever be counted. She was lovingly referred to as Muma and Meemaw by all of them.

Joanne was a devoted wife to Richard for nearly 60 years. Their marriage is a true testament of strength and love.

If you were blessed to cross paths with Joanne over the years you surely experienced her sense of humor and a love that is rare. Joanne had a spirit that made even strangers feel like they knew her forever. She left a sassy footprint on the hearts of all that met her.

Surviving are her husband, Richard C. Bricker, whom she married May 7, 1966; two sons, Bryan (Jodi) Bricker, of Ravenna, Ohio, and Brent (Kelly) Bricker, of Cabot; her daughter, Erin (John) Smith, of Jamestown, Pa.; six grandchildren, Alysha Bricker, Madison (Bob) Larrimer, Jarrett (Katelyn) Bricker, Hattie (Jessica) Smith, Colt Smith and Sage Smith; and her great-granddaughter, Kadence Boulton.

She is preceded in death by her parents and two sisters, Betty Zevada and Judith Peters.
