JO ELLEN YODER

I will miss Jo so much, we worked together until I quit after my daughter was born, but we kept in touch either on the phone with periodic updates or going out dancing. Man that woman could dance, she tore up the dance floor like no one else could. I'd take a break to get a drink but Jo would keep on dancin!

Her personality was awesome, she had a really great way to deal with people who offended her. She never failed to make me laugh, like when someone messed with the blinds...

I always remember her smile when I went to sleep over. And she was so NICE-- I was (still am?) a very shy kid, easily intimidated by adults, and I never felt insecure around her. She was very calming and easy-going.

After middle school, I didn't see her too often anymore, but I always heard updates from Nikkie. Her strength was incredible. You can't fight cancer that long with a superdose of spirit, attitude, will, heart and strength.

I'm still reeling. I still don't...

To Jo Ellen's children and family: know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Even though I never met her, I did...... through her wonderful and loving children. I love you all......

Dear Cousin Keith and family -
~Our deepest sympathy to you and Jessie, Nicole and Eric in your loss. Jo Ellen was still so much a part of the Yoder/Roman family and we are so grateful and blessed that she touched our lives.
~We will always remember her for her huge smile and great laugh - she sure could warm up a room when she entered. She was a very kind and caring gal with a warm heart who loved life and her friends and family.
~Bill always would tease her about her...

To the children of Jo Ellen, Your mom touched our lives with love and compassion. She had more courage, strength and positvie attitude than anyone I have ever met. She was a wonderful person, and was consider by my family as family. She was like having another sister and we consider our selves lucky to have had her in our lives. I know this is a very difficult time for you, but in time and with God's help you will all get through this. Love, Theresa (Tara Prosen's sister)
