Joanne J. Biesecker, 75 FELTON - Joanne J. Biesecker, of Felton, went to be with the Lord, on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010, along with her feline companions, Mitzy, Muff, Mandy, and Toby. She was 75. She was born in Philadelphia, to the late Albert E. and Sallie P. Jackson. Mrs. Biesecker was a graduate of Bridgeville High class of 1953. She retired in 1986 from Playtex after 30 years of employment in the payroll department. She then worked for Delaware Technical and Community College in the payroll department for the President's office, and retired from there in 1997. In the early 80's she belonged to the Community Singers, and in the 80's-early 90's, she was part of the Read Aloud Children's Program. While raising her two daughters, in the 60's and 70's she enjoyed taking them camping. In her younger years, she loved tennis, and football, and enjoyed watching ice skating on T.V. Her favorite pastimes included reading, music, crotchet, taking care of her pets, and writing short stories and poetry. She was highly intelligent and loved to watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Her family often joked to her that she could win at Jeopardy. She also enjoyed making others laugh, and her presence will be deeply missed by all that knew her.
