Jo Ann Harper

No remembrance of Josie's life would be complete without acknowledge of her late beloved spouse, Michelle. They built a beautiful life together and were an extraordinary couple. I know Josie was devastated by her loss and Josie's steadfast and years-long commitment to fundraising for cancer research was driven in memory of Michelle. We will continue to honor them both.

Josie gave her heart and soul to her teams and to each and every athlete she came in touch with. We coached Dartmouth Field Hockey together/ selected a US Lacrosse Team together/ and bumped into each other at many NCAA events. I loved her wit, honesty, and a strong conviction to do the right thing. RIP Josie - you were a legend in College Athletics!

Thank you Josie for being a great teacher, coach & mentor. RIP Patti Jo Lewis Penncrest `74

I had Josie as a coach for 3 sports and 3 seasons for each- looking back, in some ways even more than my parents she had the strongest impact of what I am personally most proud of, as a person...There is only one Josie- she is a trailblazer and led by example and gave so much to all of us through her coaching. Cheers with my heart to Josie! Duff- penncrest class of 74

I am sad for your loss. I played basketball under Josie at Penncrest. After senior season (1972) she gave me a gold initial bracelet that I still have, wear, and treasure. She was a great, supportive, and encouraging teacher. Didn´t realize she was barely older than her students. Also didn´t know what accomplishments had followed. I also acknowledge her as an understated role model in other areas. Thanks for a life well- lived.

Josie was a delight to know. I met her through dear Michelle and the entire Meyers family. Such a beautiful person. I´ll always remember her wonderful smile and warm heart.

So very sad to hear about Josie´s passing. She was a kind and fierce woman who loved women´s sports! I will fondly remember spending time with Josie and Michelle as they were so in love. Rest easy... Dawn

She was the best gym teacher , such a nice woman. My sincerest condolences to her family RIP

So very kind and supportive-even to non super athletes like me
