CONCORD, NH - Joanne M. Mellady (Smith), 67, died March 30, 2020 from Covid-19 virus. She was predeceased by her husband, Steven Mellady.

Joanne was born in Lynn to the late Ronald P. Smith and Margaret L. (Cant) Smith and grew up in Lynnfield.  She graduated from Lynnfield High School and from Computer Processing Institute with a degree in Computer Programming.
