JoAnn Bruce Law, 84 of Centre, formerly of Piedmont, passed away on Sunday, February 7, 2021 at Floyd Medical Centre in Rome, Georgia.
She was born May 20, 1936 in Birmingham, Alabama to Joseph A. Bruce and France Mae Wyatt Bruce.
She spent her life in service to others. She could be found playing the piano at church, serving as PTA President, foster parenting, establishing a service project to feed for her community, or as the business owner of Merle Norman building the confidence of women in the community. But most of all, she served her family and taught them the most important lesson, to love Jesus and to love others.

Law (Amanda) of Cartersville, GA; 7 grandchildren Amber L. Morris (Jeremy), L. Collin Law (Molly), Whitney Law-Knott (Ronnie), Rachel L. Marcum (Josh), Carly L. Raven (Levi), Chelsea L.

Graves (Jimmy) and many special nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Frances Bruce and brothers Charles W. Bruce and Thomas M. Bruce.
