Joanne E.
Mansour
Sep 27, 1947 — Sep 26, 2026
East Providence, RI
Joanne E. (Hockman) Mansour, born on September 27, 1947 in Cranston, Rhode Island, was a radiant beacon of compassionate love and generosity. Her life was a testament to the beauty of a heart that constantly gave and expected nothing in return. Joanne, a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, left this world on September 26, 2026, one day shy of her 79th birthday, but her spirit, her laughter, and her thoughtful nature continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Joanne dedicated her life to being a Domestic Engineer, a role she performed with passion and excellence. Her home in Riverside was an open sanctuary of warmth and hospitality, where she lovingly cared for her family, friends and her beloved cat, Theda. Her infectious humor touched everyone she met, leaving an indelible mark of joy and positivity. Joanne was a Roman Catholic, and she lived her faith through her actions, embodying the verse from Corinthians, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."
Joanne is survived by her son George Mansour, her daughter Melissa Manzolillo, her brother Dennis Hockman, half sister Sharon Hockman Kozlowski and her beloved grandchildren, Frank Manzolillo Jr, David Mansour and Jenna Mansour. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Norman Mansour, her father Lloyd Hockman, her mother Mildred Hockman, step father John Pavao and her brother Tim Hockman. The void left by her departure is immense, but the legacy she left behind of love, generosity, and thoughtful compassion is a comforting balm.
The funeral services will be private.
Services are humbly entrusted into the care of Southcoast Funeral Homes at Ferreira Chapel "Celebrating A Life Well Lived"
