Jo Anna Thomas Obituary
Born in Baltimore on May 22, 1948, to the late Joseph and Rose Geben. She grew up in Highlandtown and graduated from Patterson Senior High School.
Jo Anna worked at temp agencies in human resources for many years. In the late 1990's Jo moved to the Eastern Shore and married George Thomas in 2004. After retirement, she kept busy volunteering at Talbot Interfaith Shelter, St. Mark's United Methodist Church, and local food banks. She was a proud member of the Easton Elks Lodge and always looked forward to her time on the golf course and playing cards while sharing laughs with her dearest friends.
Jo Anna is survived by her husband, George Thomas of Easton; step-daughters, Tracie Thomas of Easton, Amy Gross (Bill) of Easton, and Laura Coutsolioutsos (Terry) of Sarasota, FL. She is also survived by her sister, Carol Wiss; brother Bobby Geben; and cousins, Linda Langford, Rose Pilgrim, Grover Carrow, Lilian Yadiuci, Regenia Hurt, Michael Parol, Albert Parol, Tommy Parol, Molly Langford and Jimmy Langford; along with her Thomas family grandchildren Tom and Claire Gross, Max and Hannah Coutsolioutsos and Dylan (Nikki), Lauren and Evan Lahman.
