    JoAnn was an interesting and remarkable person, and I always enjoyed talking and visiting with her. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. Those who knew her will truly miss her. May she Rest In Peace.

    What a privilege to meet JoAnn, such a gracious person! How wonderful that her niece was beside her all the way - we should all be so fortunate!

    My husband Bill and I both had the privilege of knowing and working with Jo at Borg Warner..we all fondly called her “Big Jo”. She was a hoot to be around. My husband was a strong Cardinal fan vs her devotion to the Cubs and they had very amusing conversations on who had the best team. We are sorry to hear of her passing.
