I don't even know how I came up with the name NeeNee but it stuck for a long time. NeeNee I had a lot of fun times together. I was her bartender and would always give her box wine white zinfandel to her between 3-5 and the limit was 3 glasses. She might have broken that rule once or twice but it's okay. Papa Dave got her a sign that said “wine me up and watch me go” on it and she really lived up to that sign. When she would pick me up from Tathys preschool she would tell me about the money she lost or won and then we would go to wendys she liked the chicken sandwich. During thanksgiving I liked to help her make the sweet potato casserole I liked to put the marshmallows on top. She would tell me the stories about my dad in high school and we thought they were funny but my dad didn't. She liked to tell me the gossip that was going around in Bunnell and I would tell her what was going on at school. I could tell when she was being serious because she would say “Ava Offnick get your butt over here”. When the family would play games with or without the money she wasn't joking around she was in it to win it. NeeNee cared a lot for everyone during their good and bad times. Now she gets to watch over us while enjoying her glass of wine. I will love you and miss you so much.

Neenee, Mom! came into my life, just to fill my heart with love and kindness. We share our birthday month, and proud I will say the Joan face (Joe's joke). Share our love for family and we were alike in many ways.
We love fast shopping together at (Home Goods and Khol's), eating soup (onion's soup) and almost every time ordered the same meal at restaurants (except shrimp) OMG, She loved shrimp!!!.
We gossip at the kitchen table, and she always tried unsuccessfully to tell me secrets. Everyone could hear her.
She loved my family unconditionally and we are a big family to say the least. She wrote me emails daily to give me updates on doctor's, wish me a good day and tells me that I loved me.
She liked my chinese rice and hated Venezuelan hallacas. I love her green beans casserole and hated her easter pizza.
She loved my dogs at the point that they got Christmas gifts every year. We like orchids, sneakers, purses and nail polish.
When papa and she came down to visit us, every time she passed by the school to say "Hi". I was waiting for her 2 minutes visit.
We played the same casino machines, but she made more money than me, she was really good at catching the flying bills.
She didn’t like to talk long on the phone, but you will get a card at every holiday, with a gift and a “love you neenee and papa”.
We have a space in our house that spontaneously is called “the neenee’s room”. She knew what perfume I wear, she put it in my stoking every Christmas.
I was her sous chef in Thanksgiving, this was our holiday in the kitchen. Yearly, she gave me my only Hanukah gift.
Family is about being consistently present. This is her legacy! She was there.
She was interested in me, she cared for me, she loved me and I KNOW IT.
I love u Neenee ♥️ I will miss you dearly!
Joann such a beautiful soul I loved her the first day I met her . I enjoy the memories throughout the years of when she use to work at the bar .everyone loved her and she kept all of us in check... prayers to Dave and her son and grandchildren.
Mrs.O was always so good to us boys. Always had fun kidding her that she was the only person was was taller than. Always fed us and cheered for us at our football games. My sincere condolences to Dave, Joey, and the entire clan. This really make me sad 😞. She was so much fun to be around.
We were friends for years and worked together ,l loved her and we sure had some wonderful times. I talked to her almost every day. I will miss her . Loved her .
Mom, I miss you very much! I could not have asked for a better mother.
