JoAnn Johnson Hobgood

In her younger years she loved attending Elvis concerts. She loved her some Elvis and knew every song Elvis ever recorded and all the words to every song. In her golden years she enjoyed spending time with her beloved dog, Sophie. Everyone she met, she let them know that was her “Baby Darling” and she could do no wrong. If she wanted to go outside every three minutes, then she went outside every three minutes. Whatever Sophie wanted; she got.

JoAnn was an affectionate, dedicated, and loving wife, mother, gran, and grandmama who always put the needs of others first. She was a member of Mt.
