Jo loved the Lord all her life and was very active in the Breiel Blvd. First Church of God in Middletown. She sewed lap robes for the nursing homes and worked to feed the homeless. She was employed by Aeronca, Sorg Paper Company and was a substitute at Middletown High School. She was active in Christian Women's Club and was the world's best babysitter.
