McCorry and Alice Slavin McCorry. Joanne graduated from Holy Cross Academy in Brookline, MA and moved to New York to study acting at The Neighborhood Playhouse and lived at the renowned Rehearsal Club. Theater was her passion and for the remainder of her life she followed the industry with great vigor. Each year when the Tony Awards came around she would block her calendar so that nothing would keep her from viewing the event from the first steps on the Red Carpet through the moment the final award was presented. In the Trivia contests at Pelican Landing in Bonita Springs she was known to dominate the Theater category when it was on the agenda. Joanne and Mike were early residents of Pelican Landing and were involved in many committees which helped to create this wonderful community. She embraced the welcoming of new people and was involved in the Pelican Landing Newcomers Club including a stint as President. She also enjoyed involvement in Bocce, Golf, Mah Jongg and so many other activities at Pelican Landing. Joanne was a very special person and was blessed with many friends and relatives. She maintained close relationships with people from each phase of her life. Whether it be Boston, New York City, Huntington Long Island or for the past twenty years, Bonita Springs, FL she cherished every one of those equally special people. Joanne was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years Michael Cincotta and their son Christopher Cincotta. Surviving are her brother Jay and his wife Carolanne of Northbrook IL and Bonita Springs, her loving Sister-in-Law Mary Ray and Harold Rheel and Christine and the late Joseph Cincotta. She was blessed with many wonderful nieces and nephews whom she loved very much. James and Jessica McCorry, William and Connie McCorry, Vincent and Janice Rheel, Robert and Nancy Rheel, Vincent and Jacqueline Cincotta, Thomas and Gloria Cincotta and many Great Nieces and Nephews brought much joy to her life. Interment will be alongside her late husband Michael in Arlington National Cemetary at a later date.
