Lois Joanne (Kabisch) Wylie, 91, of Monroe, Washington, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2026.

Joanne was born on January 6, 1935, in Wayne, Nebraska, the youngest daughter of George Walter and Dorothy (Hansen) Kabisch. She graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, in 1954 and continued her education at Nebraska State Teachers College in Wayne, Nebraska, where she earned her teaching degree in 1958. She taught for a few years in Lyons and Howells, Nebraska.

On June 2, 1962, she married Clarence B. Wylie in Dixon, Nebraska. The couple made their home in Wichita, Kansas, where they welcomed two children, Clinton and Charla. Following Clarence's passing in 1979, Joanne moved with her children to Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1981. She remained there until 2014 when, at the age of 79, she moved to Monroe, Washington, to be closer to her daughter.

Joanne was a member of the Methodist Church, Rebekahs, Daughters of the Union Veterans, and the Monroe Community Senior Center.

She is survived by her children, Clinton (LeAnn) Wylie of Cookeville, Tennessee, and Charla McCartney of Monroe, Washington; her grandchildren, Sofia (Geoffrey) Kambhampati, Elysabeth (Brandon) McCrary, Brittany (Sean) Kendrick, Alex McCartney, and Adam McCartney; and six great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Dorothy Kabisch; her husband, Clarence Wylie; and her sister, Bonnie Jeanne Wilson.

A graveside service will be held at a later date at Pleasant View Cemetery in Winside, Nebraska.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Monroe Community Senior Center in Monroe, Washington, either directly or through the family, who will ensure contributions are donated to the Senior Center in Joanne's memory.
