JoAnn Tucker Laster

I´m in disbelief that Mrs lasted is no longer with us! It wasn´t one day that she wasn´t a joy at Howard high school. I remember my senior year when she printed my transcript for me she caught that I had passed two classes they never gave me credits for... Mrs. Laster didn´t play about us students either she flew into the system and corrected it herself on the spot. I remember her telling me that they wasn´t going to short change me like that LOL...she came across my heart and I looked her up to find she. Is with God...rest peacefully

When I looked into my School email I could not Believe what I was reading about the loss of Ms. Laster my Friend that I Loved Dearly, whom I worked with for over 20 years at Howard School and met years before that at Orchard Knob Elementary. She was one of the Sweetest, Kindest Person that brought so much joy when she came in the room. She was so Fun and loving and She Loved the Lord! There are so many good memories and I am so Thankful that I was Blessed for her to come into my path. I will never ever forget this Precious Sweetheart. My prayers are with Her Daughter Hope and Family.

I was so surprised to learn of Joann's homecoming. I enjoyed sitting by her at Orchard Knob Missionary Baptist Church or talking at the grocery store. She was such a kind person and a loving mother. Hope, please know that I am keeping you in my prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May light perpetual shine upon Ms. Laster. God's peace to her family.

JoAnn was such a pleasure to work with. Her infectious smile and kindness will be dearly missed. I am glad to have known her. Memory eternal.

Rest In heaven

I will miss JoAnn tremendously,
There’s an empty spot in my heart
‘She thank she cute‘ her words not mine!

Jo Ann was one of the Most Amazing, Lively, Loving and Embracing Sweethearts I’ve ever met! I am so glad our paths crossed as she diligently served the entire community at The Howard School for over 20+ years! Her memories will live on in our hearts always!
