Jo Ann held many titles throughout her lifetime. She was a caring daughter, sister, niece, friend and cousin. Jo Ann was an attentive wife to her high school sweetheart, and adoring Godmother to a precious young lady. The two titles she cherished the most, however, were Mother and Maw-Maw. She raised three strong, kind, hard-working men that continue to live out the legacy imbedded in them by her intentional example of loving others above yourself. Once her boys were grown, Jo Ann welcomed her daughters-in-law with open arms, and excitedly went from the title of Mother to Maw-Maw when her first grandson was born. From that moment on, she joyfully embraced every new grandchild and great grandchild that joined the family, and devoted herself to loving and nurturing each one. She was a spunky, full-of-life lady that loved her family fiercely and they each will treasure the memories of her until we meet again in Heaven.

Pallbearers will be Ethan Walker, Wesley Walker, Andrew Alexander, and Josh Gaines.
