I had the privilege of taking care of Jo-Ann many times as her nurse. I am so sad to hear of her passing. Some of my fondest memories of Jo-Ann was playing country music while we would get her up in the mornings and specifically getting her dolled up for the day we were able sneak Mr. Hayhurst in to see her. She was so happy to be able to see him! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Jo-Ann and I worked together for almost 23 years at CVS. In addition to being a coworker, she was one of my dearest friends. I started working with Jo-Anne when she transferred into the Accounts Payable department.
She was always willing and ready to help me with anything I needed help with. We used to walk during our breaks and have lunch together. She will be dearly missed.
