Joanne Loch, director of finance and administration for the UNMC Office of Academic Affairs, died Jan. 6 at the age of 42 after a two-year battle with cancer. <\/p>\n

\n

Memorial service<\/h3>\n

A memorial visitation will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, with a service following at 3 p.m., at John A. Gentleman Bellevue Chapel, 3402 Samson Way, Bellevue, Nebraska. In lieu of flowers, the family will be donating in Loch’s memory to a charity yet to be named.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Joanne will be remembered for her kindness, determination, joy and courage,” said Dele Davies, MD, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs. “We all were touched by her in many ways as a co-worker and friend. She was a strong, often behind-the-scenes, backbone of Academic Affairs, always ready to lend a hand and dive in to solve complex issues for other units. She will be greatly missed.”
\n

Loch joined UNMC in 2012 as a financial budget analyst and accepted the director of finance and administration in academic affairs in 2017.
\n

“Joanne was a very gracious, supportive, caring person and one of the strongest people I have ever known,” said Tammy Post, accounting associate with UNMC Academic Services. “She was always upbeat, even when she was having a really hard day. Joanne was great at her role as a director in academic affairs. She always had time to answer a question, explain a new process, or work with you to solve an issue. I will miss Joanne as a colleague and friend.”
\n

Born in Sacramento, California, Loch graduated from Bryan High School, earned her BSBA degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and her MBA from Bellevue University.
\n

“Joanne’s door was always open, and she always had a smile. She was encouraging and would do what she could to help in any situation,” said Sue Welch, coordinator, UNMC Academic Services. “She was so strong and never lost hope. I will miss her smile, encouraging words, her friendship and the lunches that we shared on her porch.”

“I only knew Joanne for a relatively short period of time but I felt like I had known her for a long time; she had that type of personality,” said Linda Merriman, coordinator with UNMC Academic Services. “She was always upbeat and positive, even when I knew she was in pain. I am deeply saddened, and I will miss her very much.”
