Jo Ann was a woman of many talents. She was a homemaker well versed in cooking, sewing, crocheting and entertaining in her home. Anyone who visited was welcomed and well fed. Her reputation for the best Snickerdoodle cookies on the planet will be attested to by her many grandchildren.

She was an accomplished artist working in many mediums; oil, pastels and ceramics. First Baptist Church in Lockney, Texas was her home church in which she later worked as a secretary. Her other jobs were at the Lockney Gin and Kristi’s in Plainview. Playing bridge was one her favorite games and she was really good at winning.

She and her husband, Jarus, traveled with Campers on Mission working in camps, churches and at Southwestern Seminary in Ft. Worth. Traveling continued with their involvement in the Central Plains Good Sam’s Club. Jo Ann and Jarus also sang with the Millineum Singers who visited nursing homes and entertained regularly.

During the years of raising her family, she was an active member of the First Baptist Churches in Aiken, Lockney and Plainview where she loved to share her faith, teaching Sunday School and G.A.s (Girl’s Auxillary). She loved putting together banquets and social events and even playing Lil’ Abner for a banquet one time.
