Jo was a loving mother and grandmother, devoted wife and daughter and caring sister and friend. She loved her church and her friends at West End Church of Christ in Knoxville.
She was immensely kind and true friend. She taught us all how to be kind, loving and giving. She loved her gardens and flowers, especially her roses. She also loved her dog Tina that gave her so much joy and companionship over the years after her husband's death.
We offer a heartfelt thank you to her dear friends, Ann Bennett and Pat Lewis. Also for her caregivers at Deane Hill Place that made her final days bearable, especially Traniyia and Nurse Heather.
A graveside burial will be held September 4th at 2:00 PM at the East Tennessee Veterans Cemetery, Lyons View, in Knoxville.
Remembrances may be made to Long Branch Environmental Education Center, a non-profit organization which her daughter co-founded, in Leicester, North Carolina 28748 (PO Box 369) or to the West End Church of Christ in Knoxville.
