This was the mom that you reach for when sick and in times of celebration. She naturally knew what to say and do and what not to say and do in any situation. She always knew how to help. This was one of her outstanding gifts.
Mom treasured her family and friends. She was welcoming to all, treated everyone with kindness, really listened, and spread happiness.
She always had homemade treats ready, rescued dogs, cats, baby bunnies, squirrels, could mend and sew anything, always knew where everything was in her house, was extremely organized and neat, valued her earthly possessions and kept every gift every given to her, was a great cook, an expert on making Boston Cream Pie, chocolate chip cookies, and southern sweet mint tea, loved going to the YMCA of the Rockies with her family, would coordinate her jewelry, clothes, makeup and hair perfectly, took care of her husband in sickness and health, was present for her first grandchild´s birth, Ryan, and provided lifesaving support when the twins were born and Ryan was one, she never missed her daily calls during my work commute to keep me awake, was a fantastic grandmother and great grandmother and loved to stay up late and play games.
The world is a better place because of my mom. She did important work on this earth and taught by doing. Her lessons of kindness, forgiveness, trying to do your best, accepting and learning from mistakes, and countless more will not be forgotten.

My condolences to Jo's family on their loss. I have so many pleasant memories of the McCartney's at Trinity Cathedral. My late husband, Gene Smith, shared many happy hours on the golf course with Joe and the rest of the Faithful Foursome.

Jo was an educator at heart and demonstrated the qualities of a great teacher throughout her life. So, in her honor an acrostic poem, it will not be Jo but Juanita.
J Jo was joyful, just, and led a jubilant journey
U Jo was understanding, underrated, and uplifted others
A Jo had an amazing attitude and a sense of adventure
N Jo was nice, a natural with a non-stop list of to-dos, and a nature lover
I Jo showed interest and intrigue with people, places and things
T Jo taught thanks and treasured her tribe
A Appeared calm, ample cookies, and appreciated anything and everything
These are just a few qualities I remember when she was at her best. A role model for others in organization, helping the underserved, asking questions, looking good, cooking skills, the list goes on. Rest in Peace.

This gentle lady was the personification of kindness.
Growing up,I think I spent more time at the McCartney´s house than my own home. Mr.and Mrs. McCartney treated me like I was one of their own beloved children. Her kindness, grace, and affection, and the wonderful times I spent in their company gave me the gift of countless, wonderful memories. I´m so blessed to have known her. I am comforted in knowing that this lovely soul is back from where it came, with the angels.

My grandmother Jo is at peace. Everything she accomplished in her life time is small, compared to the amount of love she had for her family. She was the most amazing grandmother anyone could ever imagine. Spending summers in Omaha with her and my grandfather changed my life. I saw how kind she was to strangers, how patient she was with her grandkids, how welcoming she was to her neighbors, and how loving she was to everyone. She was truly a selfless soul. I couldn´t have dreamed for a more perfect grandma.

Dear, sweet Mrs. Joe, or "JJ" as you were fondly known in our home... the world will be less without you - less kind, less generous, less graceful and less tolerant. You were all of these things and so many more, and you never hesitated to share your talents and gifts with others. It was a lifelong honor to call you my next door neighbor and friend. I will miss you and your beautiful spirit, until we meet again...

Aunt Jo, welcomed me and my children into her family when her elder sister would not. She was gentle and kind and sharp. She made us all feel proud to be in her family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was a kind and generous woman who was devoted to her family, community, and our precious animals on earth. She always opened her home and heart to those who had the privilege to know her. I have countless fond memories growing up with your family. May your mother rest in peace. She will be missed.
