Jo McGee Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 9, 2024.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jo Ann McGee, aged 73, who was called home on November 18, 2024. Jo Ann was cherished for her vibrant personality, bringing joy to all who knew her. Her life was marked by a deep dedication to her family and friends, and she found happiness in simple pleasures such as yard sales, consignment shops, spending time with her beloved grandchildren, and enjoying visits to the "spa".

Jo Ann is survived by her son, Paul Davidson, and daughter-in-law, Tammy Davidson. She leaves behind four grandchildren: Megan Odegaard, Daniel Odegaard, Amanda Davidson, and Carlee Davidson, as well as five great-grandchildren: Julius Jr., Jeremiah, Alton, Clark, and Joziah. Her sisters, Dolores Adleta, Julie Miserendino, Ariann Thomas, and Jeanne Klauzenburg, also mourn her passing. Jo Ann was predeceased by her husband, Ron McGee, her sisters, Phyllis Dwyer and Ann Marie Reed, and her brother, Gordon Thomas.

Jo Ann will be dearly missed by her family and friends. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, where those who loved her will gather to honor her memory and the joy she brought into their lives.

I'm not sure if this is the Jo McGee I knew back in the 80's from Overlake Christian Church, but I think it looks like her and her age would be right. We shared some special times and common experiences and I wish I could give her a big hug right now. If she did attend OCC in the 80's, could anyone let me know? I have precious memories of her. I know she is missed. Emily Helm

Jojo was an amazing individual. Heart of gold, loving, kind supportive. I will remember every single thing about Jojo. She was my best friend for over half of my life. We will all miss her dearly, but I´m going to look for her in everything because I know that´s where I´ll find her.
in the trees, in the wind in the Earth.
Love you forever more Jojo.~ bff
