Joann Luersen

JoAnn Luersen was born on December 29, 1937 in Round Rock and passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, May 31, 2020.

Born and raised in Round Rock, JoAnn was the drum major of the Dragon Band during her high school years. After graduation, JoAnn attended the Nixon Clay Business College in Austin, Texas. She was an amazing businesswoman and used those skills as she spent many years working for the IRS and helping her husband run his construction company. She was also the owner of Hardwood Products and successfully led that company for over 25 years.

JoAnn had a passion for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and enjoying wildlife. She loved watching movies, reading e-books on her iPad, and keeping up with technology. JoAnn always had a generous heart and helped numerous family members, friends, and employees. She supported many charities, such as Habitat for Humanity, Williamson County Animal Shelter, ASPCA, and hospice.

JoAnn was preceded in death by her husband, Wallace “Sonny” Luersen; son, Kevin Luersen; parents, Edmund and Alma Krumm Peterson; as well as other aunts and uncles.

She is survived by her two grandsons, Heston (Hannah) Luersen and Reagan (Nancy) Luersen; four great grandchildren, Emiley, Addison, Raylan, and Haizley; daughter-in-law, Jennifer Luersen; sister, Betty (Theo) Zimmerman; nephews, Jason and Lee Zimmerman and their families; and other extended family.
