Joanne B. Acerba
(nee Leva), Of Washington Twp. Age 79. Beloved wife of the late Salvatore G., Sr. Devoted mother of Salvatore G., Jr., Bernadette Giorgi, and Joanne T. Hewes (David). Loving grandmother of Max, Noelle, Dakota, Michael, Charles, Nikolas, Eva, Angelica, Corey, and Brielle. Dear sister of Ronald and Fred Leva.

Joanne was born on November 4, 1938 and lived her life here on earth for 79 years, when she finally left this earth for the place promised to her in heaven on August 24, 2018. Despite many rough times as a young girl, Joanne knew how to love and serve others, and she spent most of her life doing just that. From volunteering at the schools, helping the disabled, bringing her children to nursing homes to visit and sing to the elderly, caring for her amazing husband in his times of greatest need and suffering, to always supporting her children in every endeavor, Joanne was the person always giving of herself to those who needed her. She had a fun-loving personality. She loved to bowl, play the piano, sew and craft, cook, host parties and spend time with her children and grandchildren. Joanne was mom to everyone in the neighborhood and to all of her children’s friends. She made her house the ‘safe house’ where every kid came to hang out and know they would be fed well! Joanne left her mark on this world, setting the example for all of us to love God and family before anything while always serving others. She will be missed here on earth, but is now enjoying her reward in heaven with the God she so dearly cherished.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing Tuesday 7:00 – 9:00 pm and Wednesday 8:15 – 9:15 am at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Road, Washington Twp. Funeral Service 10:00 am at St. John’s United Methodist Church, Washington Twp.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joanne’s memory to the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312.

Bernadette, Joanne, and Sal I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there but I have to work and cannot get off. I will be praying for all of you and your families. When I heard and I told my kids they of course asked me who she was and I told them the story about when we slept over and your mom gave Veronica honey in the middle of the night and she cried “I’m all sticky”. We had lots of great times. Miss you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

In reading her obituary, it was obvious to me that this woman performed many works from the heart her entire life. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that the Bible tells us Jehovah is close to the broken-hearted. Psalms 34:17 & 18 May the God of all comfort be with your friends and family at this time.
