I had the pleasure of meeting Jo oh so long ago. She and Daddy helped my parents and ourselves purchase and sell homes and she became a friend, especially when we bonded over having gone to the same high school. She was a real powerhouse and a beaming presence. She jumped in to help out wherever needed. She loved her family and I pray for Tim, Stephanie and the entire family. She was a shining light for sure. Pat and Debbie Longton
I'm at a loss for words... Jo was one of a kind; and the epitome of a life well lived. I'll miss you, but never forget you, my dearest friend.
My heart breaks for Tim, Stephanie and Jo's grandchildren. I've been friends with Jo for as long as I can remember. Working together, WCR, MMDC, trips and out town and more. We would try to been each other on October 31st, to see who could wish the other Happy Birthday, first. She will be so missed.
