Joanne enjoyed traveling to powwows, she was an accomplished Ladies Traditional Champion Dancer. She has won at numerous powwows, including big powwows like placing 1st at Schemitzen and United Tribes. She travelled all over Canada, and the United States and went to China to share her dancing. Joanne was also a “certified” powwow braider/outfit inspector. She made sure everyone in the family had neat, tight braids, and after she would look you over and make sure your outfit was in place and neat. She loved to bead and create outfits for her children and nieces. Her home-cooked meals will be missed, as she always tried out new recipes and cooked them full of her love. She had a very creative spirit, she loved to express herself through painting, writing poems, journaling, and doing her hair and makeup. One of the many qualities she will be remembered for are her loud contagious laugh, her smile, and caring nature.

Joanne is predeceased by her mother Daphne Good Eagle, Her grandparents Maggie and Nicholas Black Kettle, Edna and Paul Turtle-Good Eagle, Auntie Monica Muskego, and Uncle Derald Black Kettle. Her brothers Mervin Good Eagle, and Cody Black Kettle, sister Robin Black Kettle, and her cousins Chris Conrad, Brian, and Emmett Black Kettle. And her partner in crime Gary Pike.
