Altmeyer FH February 19, 2025
Johanna Cimmino Craig, 89, of Chesapeake, VA, passed away peacefully on February 
14, 2025. Born July 3, 1935, to John and Sarah Cimmino in Norfolk, Virginia, 
where she lived the majority of her life before moving to Chesapeake, Virginia, 
in her later years. After graduating from Maury High School, Johanna began 
working for the city of Norfolk in the High Constable’s Office as a secretary, 
where she met the love of her life, James S. Craig, Jr., whom she called 
“Craig”, and who at the time was a Norfolk Police Officer. Johanna loved the 
beach, and cherished the time spent most weekends camping on the sands of 
Carolla, NC, with her husband, Craig, their son, Jim, and close friends. It was 
there that she and Craig built their beach home and retreated to for weeks at a 
time enjoying walks on the beach, watching the wild horses roam, collecting 
shells, and many fun times with family. In the 1980’s, Johanna was a member of 
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown, Norfolk, Virginia, where she lent her 
beautiful voice to the choir. She also made sure that the choir robes were 
meticulously ironed and ready for the whole choir to wear every Sunday morning. 
After retiring from the city of Norfolk, she spent much of her time working in 
her yard, which she had a passion for. She was also a member of the Garden Club 
in her neighborhood. Johanna enjoyed neighborhood morning walks with her dear 
friends, sharing stories and laughter along the way. Johanna was known to her 
family and friends as Jo and as Nana to her 4 grandchildren. She is preceded by 
her parents and her sister, Clara F. Leddy. She is survived by her son, James S. 
Craig, III (Tammy); stepdaughter, Lynn Rose (Dan); grandson Eric Coppinger; 
granddaughter, Alison Shannon; granddaughter, Morgan Garbert; grandson, Justin 
S. Craig. A visitation and funeral service will be held at Altmeyer Funeral 
Home, 5033 Rouse Dr., Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 on Saturday, March 1, 2025. 
The family will receive friends at 10:00am. The funeral will follow at 11:00am. 
A private burial will take place at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery at a later 
date. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Johanna, please
