JoAnn Derby

Right from the start great Jo Embraced the Kammeraad clan with love and support. She became a part of us and we became a part of her. A loving companion, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother figure to all of us! She lives on in our hearts.

We will remember Jo for her loving, generous spirit who knew how to enjoy life. My children affectionately called her "Great Jo" and what a fitting name it was. We are grateful for the memories of birthday parties, family dinners and summer porch visits with her.

We were member of the Trinity Oaks Women club. She was very active always with new ideas to make our club more successful. She was a friend but was like a sister to many us. I know she was a breast cancer, therefore I will send a donation to Susan G. Komen in her name. My prayers and thoughts coming to her family.

Jo and I worked on Grand Rapids Symphony Friends events together. She was a delightful woman and lots of fun to hang out with. RIP my friend.

Bob, We are so blessed to have known Jo. Our time at Bay View, this past fall, enjoying laughs, libations, and love will be truly cherished. I´m so glad we had that weekend with you both. May you and Jo´s family be surrounded in loved and comfort. Love you both so much
