After reviewing my grandmothers obituary I became very disappointed. Why you may ask, simply because it barely said anything about who she was. My grandmother was a wonderful women and lived a very unique life.
Joann Marie (Wellman) Centen was born on 3/26/1939 to Otto and Leona Wellman in Mt. Angel Oregon. She was the youngest of six children. She attended St. Mary's Catholic High School. After high school she married W. James Centen on June 21, 1958. She was the mother of three children Sally I.,Donald J., and Deborah A.She was the ideal mother of the time she was a girl scout leader as well as a homemaker. In 1975 she divorced W. James and enjoyed the rest of her life loving her family, being apart of the Eagles, and playing cards and bingo. Everyone knew Joann to have a very warm heart, she loved people and never had anything negative to say about anyone. Sadly Joann passed away on June 16, 2010. She is survived by her three children Sally, Donald, and Deborah, two son in laws, five grandchildren, and one great grandson. She is a women that will never be forgotten and will live forever in our hearts.
