Jo led an extraordinary life, surviving WWII and the Korean war. Her strong family bonds were the center of her life. She loved to cook authentic Korean food for her family and friends. Jo was a helper and a worker, always finding something to do in the house. She spoiled her grandchildren and great-grandchildren with gifts and treats. Her family enjoyed her dry sense of humor and admired her strength and determination. Jo will be dearly missed. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.grbdmason.com
