Jo Rae Castleberry GUTHRIE

GUTHRIE, Jo Rae Castleberry 83, of Lithia, went home to be with the Lord on Aug. 18, 2013. She Loved her Lord and Savior and lived a life of faith and courage, with Away In A Manger and Jesus Loves Me being the last songs we heard her sing. She was a loving, giving, gracious wife and mother. She will be missed but will remain in our hearts until we are reunited with her in heaven. She is survived by the loves of her life, husband, Alvin (Bud) Guthrie; children, Dale Guthrie, Sharon Campbell (Jim), Gerry Bako (Ron), and Jan Morin; grandchildren, Dale Hatmaker Jr., Jim Campbell, Jason Guthrie, Angel Guthrie and Melissa Hatmaker; and many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and friends. The day she left her Earthly home, she was greeted by her mother, Isadore Castleberry; siblings, Dora Lee Richter, Doris Andrews, Delmar "Cass" Castleberry, John Castleberry, and CB Castleberry. A special thanks to Jeannie who kept her "going", to the staff of Patty's House for the wonderful care and love she received, and to all the prayer warriors. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, Aug. 23rd, 11 am, at Crossroads Baptist Church, 10405 Hwy 39 S, Lithia, where the family will receive friends beginning at 10 am. Interment to follow at Pelote Cemetery, Lithia. Expressions of condolence at: www.hopewellfuneral.com.
