Sending her family love and peace from me and my girls. My twins never got to meet Mama Jo but my oldest loved her as much as we all did. She was a true gem, heart of gold such a loving soul. When you were blessed to know her you knew a peacefulness thst sourounded her.
All our love to her family she will be remembered and missed greatly.
I can tell through the video what a special lady Mama Jo was and your lives are all richer for having known her and being loved by her.
I loved mama Jo probably more than she knew & we had so many great memories. Our girls trip to Salem was my second favorite memory. I’m sure there are a few of you who know my actual favorite. For you that don’t know… here it is. It was when they lived I believe off of Yankie Rd in China Spring. Jo had been telling Linda to wash the dishes, and Linda just kept doing whatever it was she was doing. Mama Jo stayed on her ass, finally mama picked up a wooden spoon and wore Linda Kay’s ass out. I had never seen anyone move that fast.. needless to say Linda washed those damn dishes better than a dishwasher could. Man I swear that was the funniest shit ever. Every time I see a wooden spoon, I think of that day… and it makes me giggle. I love you mama Jo and I’m going to miss you.
Still at a loss of words.. there are none..that will help this family learn to walk this new journey that was chosen for all.. I know each one of you are lost???? she will continue to guide you all..knowing she still lives on in many hearts.
There is one thing than no one can take from us Tho!
That’s the memories we all have, and will be cherished forever.. I will get that hug again in gods time..
R.I.P.. MAMMA Jo ????

Tommy, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye for now to such a wonderful person. The Jones family have been blessed to have her share part of her life (and great food) with us over the past years. My prayers and thoughts are with the family as I know they are all having a hard time with their loss. I hope it is some comfort in knowing how much your Mama Jo meant to all of us. May Gold bless you all.
With Love
Marie Jones
Charlie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a sweet lady. She will be greatly missed. ????????
My mother enjoyed Jo’s beautician skills for a number of years, even in the end. We’re so sorry to learn of her passing. Take time on your grief journey and remember that all the things you loved about Jo live on in each of you.
