Jo Ann loved to read the Bible, play the piano, pray for and with others, spend time with her family, play dominos, and always laugh and joke. She was the sweetest soul and to know her is to love her. She loved her family unconditionally, was always there to greet you with a "Hey baby" and the biggest hug.
