JoAnne Roberta Hackett passed away on September 15, 2026, at the age of 83. She was born on January 27, 1943.

JoAnne was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Salt Lake City in high school. In the 1960s, she moved to Denver, where she built a full and hardworking life. She and her husband Jack owned a successful business in the coin-machine industry in the 1980s and 1990s. After retirement, she continued to stay active by helping care for her grandchildren and working part-time, most recently at Goodwill. She also gave her time in service to others by volunteering with United Church of Christ.

JoAnne will be remembered for a life marked by kindness, charity, and care for her family. Her years in Denver were shaped by both her professional success and her willingness to keep serving others in retirement.

She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Metcalfe, and her son-in-law, Geoff Metcalfe. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Jack and Brooke. JoAnne is also lovingly remembered by her second cousin, Elizabeth Shewell and family; Lois Hepp; Gary and Carolyn Carnes and Ed Rutledge. Their lives were touched by her kindness, and her memory will remain with them always.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack Hackett, and by her closest relative Scott Shewell and his wife Pat.

JoAnne Roberta Hackett will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday November 7th at 11:00am at the Northglenn United Church of Christ. 10500 Grant Dr, Northglenn, CO 80233
