Jo Ann Bass went home to the Lord on February 15, 2024, in Kemp, Texas surround by her loving family. She was born on January 9, 1933, in Troup, Texas to John Avery and Velma (Simmons) Bass. Jo Ann grew up in the Troup area and attended Troup I.S.D. Throughout life Jo Ann had a love for many things. She spent hour after hour riding horses and tending to their well-being. She enjoyed growing plants and gardening throughout the season and having the prettiest yard in the neighborhood all summer. Jo Ann also loved to use her imagination on arts and crafts or to spend an entire afternoon wandering around Wal-Mart looking for the perfect bargain. Jo Ann was also very sociable. She always appreciated her friends and family coming over for a pot-luck she put together so everyone could visit while she sat with her beloved canine, Archie.
Jo Ann is survived by her loving sons: Tim Medina of California, Danny Hunt of Texas, Rick Hunt of Texas, Tony Hunt of Texas; 13 grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives.
