She was such amazing and caring women, She became a mom to me,she took me in and raised me as her own daughter and never questioned or 2nd guessed it once. We worked together and went to lunch at Garfields with our Elder Beerman family. She always supported me and never left my side, she helped me raise my children and never missed a day of there lives if she could help it. We were her life. We are grateful to have spent the last few years with her.We now have an empty spot that will never be filled, but we have all of our memories, we love you so much and will forever miss you.

Aunt Jo was more like a grandma to me than an aunt. She taught me so much and loved unconditionally. Ill never forget the shenanigans we would get into together. From parades, to political signs, spinning coke cans and more. I love that I got to spend the last two months with her daily and enjoy her.

So sorry to hear about Jo's passing. I worked with her at Elder Beerman in the 90's and into the early 2000 years. She was a force to be reckoned with. I respected her knowledge of working in retail. I moved to Michigan in 2005 and so lost touch,but she will be missed. Prayers to her family.
