  1. To all the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jo Ann was a very sweet person. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.

  2. Meet JoAnn for the first time in the 9th grade. She was a sweet, kind and beautiful girl, we had more classes together during high school and as she grew more beautiful. Enjoyed going by her home and the store that her mom and dad ran to visit her. She gave me a picture of her before I left for the Air Force that I always kept on my first page in my photo album. She will be missed by me on Facebook, but will always be in my memory. RIP love you.

  6. Jo Ann and I shared homeroom class in high school and I also was her hairdresser when she lived in Rocky Mount. Her physical beauty was only surpassed by her inward sparkle. She was a treasured friend and client and will be greatly missed. Prayers and condolences for your family.
