JoAnne's incredible kindness, patience, and glowing smile warmed so many hearts. She was a beautiful person that gave so many wonderful moments to all of us. Her memory will live forever.

Jo Anne´s smile was so captivating! It was such a joy to know her and be a colleague at Centennial. I saw her from time to time at OLLI classes, too! A lifelong learner and teacher, indeed! Sympathy and prayers of consolation for all her family.

Jo Anne Kenyon was a teacher extraordinaire and a friend to students. Her patience,and guidance and extra time and effort with my daughter and math were beyond compare and a lifesaver at getting her through math. I have never seen anything like it. The world will be less without her.

One of the most lovely women and colleagues ever. My condolences to you all, RB, Jenny, Leigh Ann, Sara and families.

I had Mrs. Kenyon for geometry my sophomore year at Centennial. I enjoyed her class and always had good memories of her! My condolences go out to her family.

Jo Anne is a wonderful person! My condolences & best wishes for her family.

Rest easy, Mrs. Kenyon, you were a wonderful teacher, then colleague, then friend and mentor for me over many decades.
