Joanna

One of the women who supported Jesus' ministry, St. Joanna was the wife of Chuza (or Chusa), steward to Herod Antipas. Legends in the Eastern tradition say that she took the head of John the Baptist from the unclean place where it had been thrown after Herod's banquet. Joanna was among the women who went to Christ's tomb to anoint his body three days after the crucifixion.
