In Loving Memory
of Our Founder,
JoAnne M.
Kuehner

​

In Tribute to a Truly Inspirational Woman

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of JoAnne Kuehner, the founder of Hope for Haiti. JoAnne was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, a cherished friend, and an extraordinary woman whose compassion and determination changed countless lives. What began as one woman's desire to make a difference in the life of a young girl grew into an extraordinary legacy of hope, transforming the lives of generations of Haitian children, families, and communities through education, healthcare, clean water, and economic opportunity.

For many of us, JoAnne was much more than the founder of Hope for Haiti. She was an inspiration, a friend, and a powerful reminder that one person, guided by compassion and a willingness to act, can change the world.

JoAnne's greatest legacy is not the organization she built, but the people she inspired and the values she instilled in all of us who are honored to carry the torch.
We extend our deepest condolences to JoAnne's family, friends, and everyone whose life was touched by her kindness and generosity.

While we mourn JoAnne's passing, we also celebrate a remarkable life dedicated to serving others.
Her spirit will live on in the work we do, the communities we serve, and the hope she inspired.

Rest in peace, JoAnne. Your legacy of hope will live on.

In lieu of flowers, JoAnne's family requests that donations be made to Hope for Haiti in her memory. Thank you.
