Joanne A. (Danielson) Gaspie, of Auburn, died peacefully on the morning of Thursday June 13, 2019, surrounded by her devoted family. She was 85 years old.

Born and raised in Auburn, Joanne was the daughter of Ragnar S. and Mary J. (McCurry) Danielson. After graduating from Auburn High School, she attended Worcester School of Business.
