JoAnn Rich

December 13, 1936 - May 6, 2021

Mrs. JoAnn Givens Rich, age 84, passed away Thursday, May 6, 2021, at her home in Bainbridge, Georgia. Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 11, 2021, at the Cadwell Chapel of Cox Funeral Home. Pastor Jimmy Walden will officiate. Interment will follow in Brinson Cemetery.

She married the love of her life, Huey Lafayette Rich. They were together for over 56 years. JoAnn retired from Memorial Hospital and Manor. She loved fishing, sewing, quilting, staying on the go and, especially, spending time with her family. JoAnn was a social butterfly who loved people. JoAnn was Mee Maw to everyone she met and everyone that knew her loved her. She loved her family, especially her great-grandchildren, in whom she thought the sun rose and set. She will be sorely missed by the many friends and family she loved so very much. Mrs. Rich is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Anita and Dean Jackson of Bainbridge; brother, Oscar "Jr." Givens of Brinson; sisters, Mary Polk of Cedar Springs, and Evelyn Williams of St. Louis, Missouri; brother-in-law, Rev.
