Joanne M. Farrell
Joanne M. Farrell, 71, of Albany, passed away on May 15, 2022 at her home surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer.
A North Albany native, she was born on May 4, 1951 and was a graduate of Sacred Heart Elementary School and Cardinal McCloskey High School. A long-time clerk at the New York State OMRDD, she retired in 2009 after a 40 year career.
A devout Catholic, a devoted friend, a loving sister, daughter, aunt and great aunt, Jojo touched the hearts of everyone she met. Never one to miss a birthday, a holiday, an anniversary or any special event for friends and family. She was generous to a fault, loved unconditionally and said the only thing she hated was surprises.

She is predeceased by her parents, Donald P. and Margaret Farrell, and her nephew, Brian P. Farrell.
