Joanne Insauto
Some people only walk this earth for a short time. Their departure reminds us that angels are watching
over us.”
Joanne Insauto, age 51, of Whitehouse Station, rejoined her mother in heaven and gained her
wings on Wednesday, January 5, 2022.
Joanne was born on October 10, 1970 in Livingston, NJ to Gustave and Barbara Zinno. She resided in
Edison with her family, where she attended J. P. Stevens High School and went on to receive her Bachelor's
Degree in Teaching from Kean University. Joanne loved art, which led to that becoming her teaching focus
at John Adams Middle School in her hometown. Helping people discover a
passion for the arts was a true joy in her life.
Joanne was a compassionate spirit who loved spending time with her family and friends. The greatest
gift she gave to her children was giving them a second home in upstate New York, where her love for the mountains,
outdoors, watching the sunrise, and enjoying the laughter of her children became some of her happiest moments.
She was also an animal lover and respected all aspects of nature.
Joanne is survived by her loving husband, Paolo, and their two beautiful children Giovannina and
Sebastiano. She lived every day for her babies and dedicated her life to them. She is also survived by
her father Gustave, stepmother Elizabeth Zinno, sister Christine and brother-in-law Edward Tortoriello,
father-in-law Sebastiano Insauto, sister and brother-in-law Tina and Michael Maulshagen, nieces
Stephanie and Alissa, and many other loving family members and close friends. She is predeceased by her
mother Barbara Zinno and mother-in-law Sebastiana Insauto.
