Born September 19, 1950 in Sheboygan, Joanie was a daughter of the late Lloyd and Julia Sipiorski Apel. She attended Sheboygan area schools and graduated from Sheboygan South High School in 1968. She continued her education at Lakeshore Technical College with an Associate's degree in Supervisory Business Management. On October 27, 1973, she was united in marriage to Chris Shircel at Ebenezer United Church of Christ.
Joanie was a quality assurance manager for Bemis Manufacturing for 27 years. She previously worked at Wisconsin Bell and Armour Leather. She was a life long member of Ebenezer United Church of Christ where she volunteered on various committees. She enjoyed reading, collecting unicorns and Swarovski crystal and was an avid Packer fan. She was also a member of the Bemis 25 Year Club. Her greatest joy was her family and friends. Her grandchildren were the "love of her life" and she thoroughly enjoyed every minute that she spent with them.
