Mary Jo was a member of Berea Baptist Church in Jacksonville, AR. During her 73 years of service to her Lord, she taught Sunday School and lovingly undergirded her husband in his calling as a Baptist minister. Together, being led by the Holy Spirit they shared the Gospel with many folks, in churches, nursing homes, shelters and peoples in far-off lands. She loved to volunteer at the Berea Baptist Caring Center, serving families in the Jacksonville, AR area. She also enjoyed filling Samaritan’s Purse Christmas boxes for children around the world. Mary Jo was a bookkeeper and served as Payroll Clerk for the City of Sherwood. Her pride and joy were her two granddaughters and great grandson.
