Eddie, Tonja and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Jo’s passing, she fought a courageous battle for almost the last year. I know it is so hard on everyone she left behind, but she isn’t suffering any longer and may that give you comfort and peace in your time of sorrows. She is not gone, but lives on in each of you.
With loving thoughts and prayers,
Dana Beard
Family of Jo: She will always be in my memories. My 1st granddaughter was born on her birthday. Jo, Martha Brock, and myself started the Mooresville Ladybug Golf League in 1978 at Friendswood golf course. I’m so grateful for our friendship and many hours of playing cards, with Jo, Bud, and Don and Viv Francis. Her laughter was beautiful and she was like another sister to me. You are all in my prayers. Lou Young & family
She was a great lady and she will be missed RIP

Jo was a dear, sweet lady and was one of my favorite people. Thinking of all of you and wishing you peace.
Prayers extended to Eddie and family. I will always remember the dinners we shared with your family and the Fluke family years ago. I was lucky enough to visit with Jo and Bud at the Meadows’s Lake while visiting my family members over a year ago.
My name is Brittany and I use to work at meadow lakes. I took care of Jo several times when I worked in assisted living. I loved this woman. She always had a smile on her face and you couldn’t help but be happy when you were around her. I also knew her husband and I know he loved her very much. Rest in heaven Jo you will forever be missed but never forgotten.
I will miss her and the way she always greeted us ” hi hun!” She was so much fun to be around. Now she and mom, Uncle Harold, grandma and grandpa Blaschke can start watching Lawrence Welk together. ( Just kidding )
