Joni gave Him the glory for her life and served Him with gratefulness. We know, without doubt, she is in the loving arms of Jesus Christ now. Joni dedicated her life to helping anyone she met, even doing so as a small child.

She had been employed for 13 years at the H.O.W. Foundation, a recovery facility in Texas. Joni had recently started her own non-profit business to allow men in recovery to earn their living with dignity and God's leading. Joni was a valued member of support groups to that purpose. Joni's theme in life was,"God can, and WILL." Beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend, she blessed all who met her, no matter her own problems or state of health. God blessed Joni with a unique gift: a loving, caring, compassionate, kind and giving spirit. She touched so many lives with comfort, laughter and an infectious smile. Joni was born in Albuquerque on May 26, 1962 to Rick and Jo Anne Spargo. She graduated from Sandia High School in 1980. Joni is survived by the light of her life, her son, Justin Meyer, age 9; sister, Cheryl DeCandia; husband of 62 days, James Gresham; former husband, C.E. Meyer; 11 aunts and uncles; 35 first cousins; 15 second cousins and countless friends.
