JoeAnne Duvall Chinn was born in Upperville, Virginia, November 28, 1947, to the late Roland Nathaniel Chinn (Ike) and Dorothy Valeska Richardson Chinn.  She was the 7th born of 10 children. JoeAnne passed gracefully and peacefully on Saturday May 18th, 2024, at the age of 76, with her beloved son by her side, to the song King of Glory.

She attended Upperville School House and later proudly graduated from Taylor High School in Warrenton, class of 1966 as one of the girls known as "the fabulous four".  Shortly after graduation,  she married Raymond Page Howard of St. Louis, Virginia on August 15th.  In 1968 they gave birth to a son, Raymond Page Howard, Jr. now Solomon Juda of New York City.   In 1974, she moved to Leesburg for 25 years and finally settled in Sterling, Virginia.

JoeAnne was baptized at an early age at Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Upperville and then in 1975 became a member of Mount Olive Baptist Church of Leesburg.  She was re-baptized in 1999 at Grace Covenant Church after developing a deeper relationship with the Lord and spent the rest of her life as a member there.  Her passions were in the women's bible study, in prayer ministry, in hospitality serving pizza on Wednesday nights and being a greeter welcoming guest.  She loved loving on people and was famous for letting all know where they could, let's say, "come up a little higher" with the Master. Her son knows this all too well.

In her younger years she loved playing softball with Aunt Sis and the girls and bowling with the Middleburg crew at Fairfax Circle Bowl America.  She was probably the most competitive person there was. Giving was the core of her soul.  She couldn't keep anything.  If you were in her house and she asked you if you liked something, it was going home with you.  She loved writing personal cards to everyone on birthdays, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, get well cards, you name it.  Now the cakes, pies, potato salad and the peach preserves are famous throughout all northern Virginia, and she took her recipes with her.

JoeAnne was preceded in death by her seven siblings – George Richardson (Jimmy), Doris Reid (Tans), Frances Richardson (Tootsie), Betty Richardson, Roland Chinn (Boot Boy), Alma Crawford and Richard Chinn.  She is survived by siblings Charles Richardson (Amos) and Gloria Bush.  Left to celebrate her life and legacy are her beloved son, Solomon Juda, one sister-in-law, Shelby Richardson, two stepdaughters; Vanessa Grigsby and Odessa Smith, four grandchildren; Bryan Morris, Devineé Kobelt, DeAndre Morris, Ryan Murphy, two great grandchildren; DeAndre Jr. and Dakota; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
