Annie Jo was a dear friend, and she will be missed by many. We were members of several organizations together, and I witnessed what a hard loyal worker she was. We also volunteered at the Veterans Hospital together, and she brought sunshine to the suffering. I was a witness for her when she married Bill, and they seemed so happy! To all of Annie Jo's loved ones, we are left with some wonderful memories.
Annie Jo was such a blessing to us. She shared her vegetables from her garden, her desserts from her kitchen, her hospitality from her home, her laughter from her card table, her stories from her back “porch sittingâ€, and her love for Jesus with us. What an AMAZING friend!

Linda and family, may happy memories carry you through this time of sorrow.
