JoAnn Knoebel Tribute

We are deeply saddened to announce that JoAnn Knoebel passed away suddenly on January 25, 2021.  JoAnn was a Certified Occupational Health Nurse and very active in SCAOHN since 1993.  She has served SCAOHN in many ways over the years, most recently helping us to re-write our by-laws.  She served on the Board of Directors for many years as well as assisted to plan many of our educational conferences.  

JoAnn worked as COHN-S at 3M for the past 15 years and prior to that was at Michelin for 12 years.  She received her BSN in Nursing at the University of Wisconsin.  She was greatly loved by the employees she served and was known to all for her kind and compassionate heart as well as professional expertise. 

She is survived by her husband, daughter and two sons and six grandchildren.  She doted on her grandchildren and was very involved in their lives.  If you’d like to read some of her tributes or leave one of your own, please visit:  https://cannonbyrd.com/joann-knoebel/

We have lost a leader, great friend and wonderful nurse.  She will be greatly missed. 

SCAOHN has established a scholarship fund in her honor to assist other OHN’s to attend our educational conferences.  If you would like to donate, follow the link below to contribute:
