Mary Jo Eidemiller Obituary

Eidemiller, Mary Jo, 77, passed peacefully, in the arms of her son, at her home in Dana Point, CA. Born on July 14th, 1933 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Raised by her paternal grandmother, Jo Jo and her aunt Leila. Mary Jo learned early on the simple values of loving, caring and giving, which she so gracefully carried with her throughout her life. She is survived by her 4 children; 2 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. She will be dearly missed by all. Gone from our lives but not from our hearts. At Mary Jo's request there will be no services. In her memory, the family asks that you pass on those values.

Sissy Super: I know you have no pain now and are at peace. You unlocked the door to artful expression for me and gave me answers to many questions. You will be in my heart and always in my thoughts. Love, Lil, your little sister.

I will miss you Mary Jo. You inspired me in so many ways just by your example. I remember your guidence and help at the community garden, running into you at the 24 Hour fitness and being amazed that you were still excersizing and enjoying it, and how sharp you were during our conversations. You always remembered everything we had previously spoken about. I know that you are at peace now and I pray that all of us who miss you will be comforted by our wonderful memories of you.

From 1974-1977, Mary Jo was one of my first and best mentors in real estate. She taught me above all that morals and ethics are EVERYTHING, not only in business, but in all of life. In every aspect she was always true lady. She always was and always will be a person I will always look back to when a question of integrity arises. She was a class act and I am truly honored to have been her "student" and most important, her friend. Along with the rest of those who knew her, I know I can speak for all saying we will really miss you, but NEVER forget you!

Mary Jo was my neighbor for 20 years and a good friend. I enjoyed our discussions of the world’s issues, local history and real estate, spattered with a mixture of humor and wit. She enjoyed life with an insatiable appetite for knowledge which was evident by all here hobbies and endeavors. A very giving and understanding person, she will be greatly missed, I know I will.
