Jo loved to crochet. She also enjoyed baking, plaster craft, and traveled whenever she could. One of her favorite spots was Yellowstone, but she had visited most of the 50 states and went on a few different cruises. Her last trip was to the ABC islands last October with her family. Family was always first with her, as she was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
