Jo Ann Church

Jo Ann was born on August 1st 1958 to parents Julia and Charles in Greenville, South Carolina, and was the middle child of her two brothers Glen and Richard.

Jo Ann lived majority of her life in San Antonio, Texas, raising her four children: Mildred, Crystal, Katrina and Dustin, with her life long partner Wolfgang Rose.

She obtained her nursing certificate and had multiple hobbies. She enjoyed listening to classic rock, watering her plants, going to Goodwill and anyone who knew her knew she loved collecting trinkets. She collected copper decor, fridge magnets and would spend hours outside collecting unique rocks. However, she was probably most known for her massive collection of dangly earrings, which were pretty impressive.

Jo Ann had the biggest heart and she touched so many lives with her generosity. She would often give her last dollar to anyone who needed it. She loved her dogs like no other. Jo Ann loved everyone unconditionally and had such a free spirit.

Mom, we will look for you among the stars, and each dawn’s pastel sky, and whisper words of love to you, but never say goodbye.
