Joanie was a proud 1976 graduate of Holy Cross High School and dedicated many years to Western Southern Life Insurance. She was actively involved in various community organizations, serving as a member of the Ludlow Fire Department Auxiliary, holding a leadership role in Ludlow Schools PTA for eight years, participating in the Red Hats group, and working with Concerned Citizens of Ludlow. Joanie found joy in singing, particularly as part of the Western Southern employee choir during the holiday season and at Red's games. She enjoyed browsing yard sales, immersing herself in literature, and showering affection on her beloved dog, Bree.
She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Wm. Terry Hagedorn of Ludlow, KY; her son, Danny Hagedorn (Nicole) of Liberty Township, OH; her grandchildren, Hudson Hagedorn and Penelope Hagedorn of Liberty Township, OH; her siblings, Mike Meyer (Enola) of Covington, KY, Dave Meyer (Marianne) of Erlanger, KY; Joyce Meyer of Ludlow, KY; Lori Sims of Ft.
