Johanna Louisa Noia, 62, of Leesburg, VA, passed away on Sunday, January 14, 2024, peacefully at her home.

Johanna was born in 1961 in Winchester, VA, the daughter of the late Fiore James “Jim” Noia and Anneliese (Gossler) Noia. Johanna was a graduate of John Handley High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Virginia. Her career as a Financial Services Analyst started at Marriott Hotels and then followed her to KPMG where she made lifelong friends. Johanna’s last employment before motherhood was with the American Red Cross. In addition to her work and being a mother, Johanna very much enjoyed going on family vacations hiking in National Parks. She loved going to the beach, especially Corolla, N.C., where she and her husband had a second home. Johanna volunteered at her children’s schools, was an avid UVA sports fan, and made many friendships with the women in her neighborhood. More than anything else, her family was her number one focus in life.

Johanna is survived by her husband, Stephen Craig Mace, whom she married on May 27, 1989; her daughter Eliza Marie Mace (Bryan Walther); son Michael Stephen Mace; sister Diana Noia Haines (Philip); brother Alan J. Noia (Cynthia) and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to her visitation Monday, January 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM, followed by her Funeral Service at 11:00 AM, both held at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel (1600 Amherst St., Winchester, VA). Interment at Shenandoah Memorial Park will follow the service.
