Mary Jo was the nicest lady ever. I met her at American States. I ran into her different times at the grocery store and we would stand and talk forever. She was a true southern gal. She was very proud of her sons and family. Prayers to all of you.

I have fond memories of Mary Jo. I met her through DAR and always enjoyed being with her. She had a
delightful sense of humor and Oh! that smile. Sympathy to the entire family.
Aunt Jo will be missed by so many fortunate enough to know her kind heart, fun nature and compassionate generosity.
Sorry I can’t make it to services but look forward to seeing you all soon.
I love you my dear family.
Mary Jo was a special friend with DAR of the Ten O’Clock Line Chapter of Morgan County. I enjoyed her smile and her willingness to help in every situation. Mary Jo will be greatly missed especially by all our members. May your family always remember her precious, happy times with you.
