Joanna Stillwagon showed up early on the night she was to be honored with the Fred Funari Award of Distinction at the annual dinner meeting of Mental Health America of Westmoreland County. “She came to help decorate on a night that’s honoring her. Who does that?â€? asked MHAWC executive director Laurie Barnett Levine, a member of the special events committee with Stillwagon. Joanna has been married to Richard Stillwagon for 46 years, and the couple has two children and nine grandchildren. She is a retired high-school art teacher and artist who lends her talents to benefit communities and organizations. “She’s always there for us when we need her,â€? Barnett Levine said. “She’s an inspiration. She’s involved in so many projects to help the less fortunate.â€?
