Prayers & Condolences
Jo Ann made you feel comfortable because she accepted you and let her kindness show. Loved seeing the video of her and her close friends and family. Loved seeing the video and many memories of sweet Jo Ann.
It is such a gift to love and to have been loved So much that it hurts like this. And though I know I won’t get to hear her laugh, her voice, or her wise words for now, I still have her peaceful presence everytime I visit the memories and everytime I’m near the water. Peace and love aways Jo Ann.
I am heartbroken to hear of Jo Ann’s passing. I was Jo Ann’s hair stylist for years at J C Penney’s and then Jo Ann followed me to A Shear Thing where she stayed after I left. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit with Jo Ann when we crossed hair appointments over the years. I will miss her dearly, we started out as a professional relationship and grew into a beautiful friendship. God Bless her and I pray for her to rest in peace….
I am in heart hurts and am in disbelief of hearing about Jo Ann’s passing. I saw her every 3 weeks for her nail appointment for at least 14 years. We shared many stories and all thou I have never met her dear friends and family whom she took many trips together with,I know how dear they were to her. I will so miss our talks my friend. My deepest sympathy to family and friends.
It was an honor and a blessing to know JoAnn.
She will be dearly missed.
