She has now gained her angel wings in her heavenly home with her husband and loved ones waiting to greet her.Joann was born on September 25, 1936 in Petros. She accepted Jesus into her heart at a young age and was a faithful member of Cove Road Church for over 30 years. She was known to be the best peanut butter cake and cornbread maker there was. She was known as "Granny Jo" to everyone she seen, whether at a ballgame, watching her great grandbabies or in the car rider line picking them up from school. She would welcome you in her home no matter who you were; she never met a stranger. If you came by her house to see her and asked if she wanted to go, she would hop in the car; she was always up for a road trip, no matter who it was with. Granny Jo was also known as a street walker going up and down the road checking on her neighbors daily and going to Family Dollar to check on the ladies who were working. She took pride in her yard, mowing it in the summer so it would look pretty.
