JoAnn Stover - Online Memorial Website

   HAMPTON, NH.  JoAnn Stover, 78, only daughter of Arthur and Gladys Stover of Hancock, NH, died peacefully on Feb. 17 after a courageous 10 year battle with breast cancer.

     JoAnn was a writer and illustrator of several published children’s books and an exhibiting artist.  In addition, she has taught painting, drawing, portraiture and writing for children and adults.  She studied at the New England School of Art, the Massachusetts School of Art in Boston and the Art Students League in NYC.  She began her career and raised her family in Brooklyn, NY.  Her later years were spent living independently, close to her children, in the seacoast areas of NH and ME.

Pollaro of Rollinsford, NH and daughter, Lauren Pollaro of York, ME, son-in-law, Stephen Bracciotti, daughter-in-law, Lisa Pollaro and grandchildren Adrian, Jackson, Paul Henry and Emily Rose.  She will be remembered, loved and dearly missed by all.
