Dear Step-Family,
Your mother will be missed deeply and shall always remember her with love. We were blessed to have had Joann as our stepmother by marriage to Victor Wilson. We will always treasure her kindness of heart, comforting voice, friendship, love and fellowship shared.
God Bless You and Your Families. Heb.11:1

Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. I met Jo Ann just this past spring at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston and immediately we hit it off. I was waiting for my daughter to finish her radiation treatment and Jo Ann was waiting for Victor to finish his treatment. We talked about several things and discovered we had a lot in common, for one....were both quilters! We exchanged phone numbers and said we would get together later on in Spring and visit. I saw her a couple more times at the hospital before my daughter completed her treatments. I was shocked to hear of Victor's passing and even more shocked to hear that Jo Ann was ill. We never had the chance to visit and talk about quilts as we had planned. I still cannot believe she is gone.....I will miss her! My prayers are with you. She was a wonderful lady.

Karen and Brett,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I know that you will miss JoAnn, but rest assured that she is in a better place where there is no more pain. JoAnn was a wonderful Christian, Mother and Friend.

My condolences to Karen and her family for their loss..Joanne was a very special person. The last time I saw her was in 2001 when she visited Austin with her son Bret and stayed overnight with me. I took her to a Friendships Force meeting in the country which I think she enjoyed and fitted in quite well. I wish I could have seen more of her. Martha Howard Schumacher...Austin, Tx.

It is hard to know how to begin, since I knew JoAnn all my life. She was known to her Howard family members as "Tudie". To me, "Aunt Tudie" is part of my earliest memories of visiting family in the northern VA and Washington DC area, in Dad's 1950 Dodge. She was married then to "Uncle Joe" Howard and they lived in Fairfax, VA. Joe worked for American Airlines which was their "ticket" to Houston, Texas. I remember Aunt Tudie's kindness when we visited in Fairfax. She made me feel special to visit with them. I remember her Japanese Dolls in her bedroom, her small gold nuggets collected from a panning trip out west and the "modern-feel" to her home in the 1950's. I remember her laughing as I was chased by a playful great dane that lived next door, I was a small boy and it was a BIG dog. But most of all I remember her smile and her many kind and pleasant words to me.
Years later I remember her visiting us after we moved to GA, on the hottest of summers. It was 109F in the shade. We lived down a long dusty, dirt road in rural GA that summer, while I was in attending the Univ. of GA. She and Joe drove up in the cadilac. I was so glad they had come so far out of their way to see us, as Joe died the next spring. After Joe's death Aunt Tudie shared with me letters that my Mother wrote to Joe while he was in the Navy and considering his upcoming marriage to JoAnn/Tudie. These letters are priceless for capturing their friendship, early comments by my Mother about life with "Newborn Me" and family life in general in the early 1950's. I feel blessed that Tudie thought to share these with me.
It was wonderful to see Tudie so happy again with Vic at the recent family reunion at my Dad's during July 4th 2004. She seemed so proud to be with Vic and so happy to have him meet members of her extended family. It is hard to have seen them so happy just last year and now to know that they are both gone... But may God's Peace be with them both and with all of us who knew them and loved them well !
...as it was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be...
Rest in Peace my Dear Aunt Tudie and know we loved you...

Karen,I was sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I pray that you and your family can accept God's decision that it was time for her to stop suffering and go to a better place. Strive to get there and see her again one day. My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.

Though I never got a chance to see (only pictures) or visit her, she sounded so sweet on the phone. Victor Wilson was my grandpa. The two will be missed forever.

Of what little time spent with Joann, she was a wonderful person! My mother reminded me that she had made my first birthday cake. The last time I saw her was last year at my parents for the Fourth of July. It was wonderful to see her and meet Vic. See will be missed deeply. My best regards to her children and grandchildren! My thoughts and prayers are with them.
