In loving memory of Joanne Marie Lunn who sadly passed away on 14th January 2025
Joe was my loving wife and we had the best 20 years anyone could ever wish for I will always love and miss her because she was perfect in every way .
We met when we were just 15 and for me it was love the most gorgeous generous and giving person anyone could wish for but like all teenagers we eventually went our separate ways .
But by magic in the mid 90s joes mum and sister walked into a shop I was running and I told her mum it was the only girl I’d ever wanted to marry,a few weeks later I saw Joe for the first time since I was 16 nothing had changed our eyes met and it was instant ,and come Christmas joe had sent me a Christmas card on friends re united the rest was history weeks later we met up and our love blossomed .
Joe throughly loved her work and was very driven and a person you could turn to for anything be it advice ,an ear to listen,a friend,or even help and mentoring to help people for fill there ambitions .
The nhs and all the different jobs she did in her work career was her passion and often worked late into the night to get the job done or a paper finished.
She made so many friends some very close but 100s of people she visited or came across on a day to day basis .
Out of work joe had many passions she loves shopping with her mum Barbara and she loves a theatre show to which she went to so many over the years
She had as a wonderful brother Nigel who she adored and a baby sister Hayley who always reminded me of Joe when she was growing up.
Joe was a family woman loved being there for her family whenever she was needed and wether it work or me she would drop everything to be there for all of them because her love for her family was so strong .
Joe loved music and although she was a big Duran Duran fan growing up she also loved take that and so many other artists a lot wouldn’t even know .
Many times we went to see take that especially ,all over the country the shows were amazing and Duran Duran again when it was possible but she also followed Paul Weller and aka music greatly going allover the country to see him .
She loved scooters and we travelled many a mile on a weekend to various places Scotland the isle of white for a weekend of dancing and live music with various scooter friends .
Joe loves travelling and together in the 20 years together we went to many wonderful places around the world .
She loves America going there on her 40th she dragged me because I didn’t want to go but I loved every minute of it with her and going many times again over the years to New York . San fransisco,Hollywood,Grand Canyon were hired a helicopter to fly over it.she hated the sea until we went to Mexico were I told her we’re swimming with dolphins tomorrow so you’ve got to brave it , it was like getting into a bath and once she was in she loved it
She also loves a simple get away weather it a week in the sun or a week or two at our caravan in scarbourgh which we loved and went many times through joes illness as her passion to fly went and she preferred closer to home .
Hobbies wow she loves knitting always click click click over the years in stages she enjoyed walking and she adores taking our three pugs .she like
Many loved her soaps always on record so she could binge watch when we got back from holidays etc.
I think her biggest passion was us in 20 years we’ve seldom been apart we loved each others company
What else can I say I’ll probably add more thoughts as and when I think of them
Joes cancer was a horrible stage in her life did she complain no never she got on with everyday life the best she could for a very long time and smiled everyday joe wasn’t one for giving up she was a fighter and she fought long and hard for nearly 3 years having some terrible times on the way she still got on with it she battled till the very end and died very peacefully smiling .
I held her hand for days and days and cared for her the very best I could I even watched both mama Mia’s the night before
She passed for her I’m not sure what see saw but she would have heard the music because she loves Abba to.

Good old days for marysia leaving party xx


As mentioned above, Jo loved the seaside and this is one of the many memories I’ll cherish. Jo wasn’t biologically my mum but she brought me up from a young age with my dad and always treat me like her own. May you be at peace, forever sleeping❤️








Such a beautiful lady, always smiling and had such an amazing outlook on life. We’ve had some amazing, happy and hilarious times out together but most of all I have the privilege to call her my friend 💖
