After moving to Beaumont TX, Joann's early education began at Pipkin and Hollywood Elementary Schools. She received her formal education at Hebert High School, where she was a proud member of the Class of 1968. Joann met and married Darrell L.

Hunt and then went on to work for the City of Beaumont, TX, Water Department, where she remained until her retirement.
Jo, as she was affectionately known by her family and friends, was a great cook. She will be remembered for always having food to share with family, friends, and neighbors. Jo loved to sing, and she had the most amazing gift of storytelling, a trait she inherited from her father. Her "tell it like it is" sense of humor and infectious laughter will truly be missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Gay "Margie Nell" Thomas Vincent; her brothers Charles Thomas and Alton Williams; and her stepmother, Grace Lewis Thomas.
She leaves to cherish her wonderful memories, her daughter, Shonda Johnson; granddaughters, Raven Sellers and Ryan Sellers; great-grandson, Rylon Relford; brothers, Michael Thomas, Kevin Thomas (Janice), Greg Williams, Howard Thomas, Darrell Thomas and Joseph Thomas all of Beaumont TX; sisters, Alma "Sheila" Mouton of Lafayette LA, Carolyn Thibodeaux (James) of Winnie TX, and Barbara Williams of Beaumont TX; aunt, Patrina Phillips of Beaumont TX; and a host nieces and nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
