I knew Jo through HCE (Home Extension). We worked on many projects together through the years. She was a joy to be around. Her smile and positvie attitude will be missed.
Stacy and family, I’m very sorry to hear the loss of your grandmother, JoBoone. She was a special lady. I spent many Christmas Eve with her, she would come because of Kathy Johnson. I got to know her pretty good. I am Kathy Johnson‘s sister in law. My heart goes out to all who love her.
