Jo was true and thoughtful to her friends. She left a big footprint in the lives of those she touched. She will be greatly missed by those she left behind. JoJo was always a tomboy at heart.

Jo felt a person’s wealth is measured by what they offered others and wanted to say to her friends, “Friendships are stitched over time and I’m so glad ours turned out to be One Crazy Quilt, thank you for all of your patchwork.” In Lieu of flowers donations can be made to VFW post 577 of Tulsa.
