She was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church.  Her career consisted of her many years of service with State Farm Insurance. Jo was very talented at growing plants and gardening and was delighted by animals and anything to do with nature. She cherished her home and beautiful property in Jackson. Jo will be dearly missed by her many loving family members and friends.
