I didn't know Jo Ann for very long, but for the short time I did she was such a delight to be around. She was such a wonderful person.
Jo Ann helped my wife and I purchase our first home together about a year and half ago. When we were visiting different houses for sale Jo Ann had me and my wife crackin' up in the car because she was so funny. It amazed me how she seemed to remember every house she ever sold as we would pass by them and still knew the families that bought them almost as if she kept in touch with them all. I can just hear her voice now telling stories of the houses she sold. Keeping in touch is exactly what she did wit us. After we purchased our home she would, every now and then, get in contact with my wife just to ask how things were. To me that just goes to show how great of a person she was.
It was truly a joy and a blessing to have been able to know her. She will be greatly missed, but I smile knowing that one day I will get to see her again. She's now in the presents of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and there's no better place to be.

Dear Pam , Brenda and Bruce I praise God onstantly for the women who I consider my second mom. Your mom shared weddings, births, birthdays and many dinners with Tom and I and my mom before she went with the Lord. I was bless to see your mom a few weeks ago and again she would love to tell me how she would go to Dorothy's for a "pit stop" and stay and share with my mom and just about meet her next appt. So now, she is with her sister and my mom and the Lord has His hands full keeping them in line. But He will be smiling the whole time while doing it. How God blessed us when we had her as our realtor for our first home and then for the rest of my life as a beautiful friend.
Will always remember you with LOVING THOUGHTS AND MISS YOUR SMILE AND GENTLE WAYS. WHAT A BLESSING YOUR WERE.

I offer my sincere condolences to Bruce and his sisters. Just thinking about Jo Ann brings a smile to my face. I have known her since the mid 80's and can still hear that infectious laugh and the "praise God" ringing throughout the halls when we worked together. Jo Ann was a child of God in every way and certainly was a powerful witness in my life. She is dancing and singing before her King and I will miss her until we meet again.

Our sincerest and deepest sympathy to JoAnn's family. She was such a special lady, one that we will all certainly miss. One can only smile when we think of the many stories that come to mind when we think of Jo Ann. Each story will tell of her giving and loving kindness, each will attest to the love she shared with others for her Lord Jesus. Rest in peace dear Jo Ann, knowing that you blessed so many with your love and endless kind deeds. It was a pleasure and honor to have worked with you at L&F!

Bruce and Brenda, I remember your mom as a loving, happy person with a great smile and wonderful laugh. I'm sorry for your loss but I know that she is with her beloved Lord, along with my brother Steven and my sister Bonnie. I'm sure they will create their own little family until we can all be together again in the arms of the Lord.
I'm sorry I'm so far away, just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

The day I received the call of what happened to you I will never forget. The first time we met over 15 yrs ago I will never forget. The fond memories of our friendship I will never forget. You...who I call "MY FRIEND" and my daughters use to call "Grandma Jo Ann" will live on forever in my heart & soul and for that I am ever so grateful. It's not Good-Bye it's til we meet again in our Heavenly Father's Home in Heaven!

JoAnn has been like a mother, best friend and prayer partner in our office for the 15 years I knew her. Anytime anyone was in need of a hug & a prayer we all simply walked into JoAnn's office and she would go to God for blessings & understanding. We love & miss you but are so happy that you are home with our Lord!

I met Jo Ann Clark when I was 16 yrs old, a friend of 2 of her children. It was clear to me, even then, that her purpose in life was that of a strong and wonderfully loving mother.
It was also clear to me, as a young teenager, of her relationship with God.
As I look back to those days, I do believe we tested that relationship almost daily and she never wavered.
I thank God for showing Jo Ann patience, wisdom and the always constant love that she so freely shared with all of us!
Brenda, Bruce and family, my heart is with you!

I was lucky enough to work with Jo Ann several years ago and always thought what a lovely woman she was. If you needed any help she would always be there with kind words and encouragement. Our profession has lost a wonderful example of what a Realtor stands for. My deepest sympathy to her loving family and close friends. Susan Beachum

Jo Ann was an amazing follower of Christ. She lived and loved as Christ did, always looking out for the rest of us, ready to share His word or a good meal. I truly looked up to her and her love for Him and enjoyed the times we were able to just sit and talk at work. Her death is a huge loss in this self centered world but heaven has gained another angel. I will miss you my friend.

The Long and Foster Lynnhaven office didn't spark until JoAnn came in in the mornings. Always bringing lunch for someone, special deals, ice cream novelties and plenty of experience, tips, advice, smiles, charm, good humor, and a calming personna. I'm so gad I was able to be a part of her life. She walked with HIM here on earth and she's in the palm of HIS hand now.

Jo Ann was a nice lady.
She helped me buy my first house and worked diligently when I sold it later "in a tough market".
Sincerest condolences to her family and friends, particularly Brenda.

What a Jewel! Jo Ann sold Robert & I our home 9 years ago and she was such a joy to work with. Her "way down deep" belly laughter was like no one else. I'm very thankful I had the blessing of knowing her. MariBeth Dagenhart-Woolard
