Jo was Deputy Finance Director at Norton Shores when I became Deputy City Clerk in 1974. She was always cheerful and a lovely co-worker. I remember she hadn't wanted to retire when she turned 65. She certainly could have continued if she was so mentally sharp even at 101! Whatta gal!
May you celebrate the many great memories even as you mourn her loss.##imported-begin##Barb Aardema##imported-end##

Nancy and all:
Sorry to see obit on your mom, Jo.
I only knew her from Dr Mixer's office, but she was one of our high-lights when you was in the office! What a wonderful lady and a wonderful life she has had. Thoughts are with you, we are out-of-town today, or I would come to the services to see everyone. I also remember Terri and the kids!
Sincerely,
