Joanna Parks Wiseman

Joanna Parks Wiseman, age 53, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 4:29 PM, surrounded by the love of her family after a sudden and rapid series of medical complications.

Joanna was born on August 16, 1972 in Cudahy, Wisconsin, Milwaukee County, and throughout her life she carried a spirit that was adventurous, loyal, and deeply devoted to the people she loved.

Joanna lived life fully and fiercely. She had a deep passion for travel and adventure and was always eager to experience a new place. She took great pride in her career and was known for the dedication and care she poured into her work. Through her work with Petmate, Joanna built meaningful relationships with colleagues who deeply respected her commitment, professionalism, and the positive energy she brought to her team. Anyone who knew Joanna also knew there was always room in her heart for the Philadelphia Eagles, a team she proudly supported.

Above all, Joanna loved the people in her life. She shared a beautiful and devoted marriage with her husband, Rob Wiseman, whose strength, love, and unwavering presence beside her reflected the very heart of their vows. Throughout life and especially in her final days, Rob remained faithfully by her side, demonstrating a depth of devotion and love that defined their marriage.

Joanna was deeply loved by her family. She was the cherished daughter of Robert Parks and the late Marcia Parks, and a beloved sister to Carrie Wilkens and Brian Parks. In her final moments, Joanna was surrounded by love with Rob and Carrie by her side, bringing comfort and family presence when it mattered most.

While Joanna’s absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled, her family finds peace in their faith and in knowing she is now reunited in heaven with loved ones who went before her, including her mother Marcia Parks, her late aunt Dr. Peggy Parks, and her late grandparents Fern and Lloyd Parks, along with her beloved dogs Louie and Simba, who were no doubt among the first to greet her.

Joanna will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, her loyalty, her sense of humor, and the deep love she had for the people around her. Her life touched many, and the impact she made will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Rob Wiseman; father, Robert Parks; sister, Carrie Wilkens; and brother, Brian Parks.

A private memorial service will be held at a future date.

The family invites those who knew Joanna to share memories and stories in celebration of her life.
