She was a kindergarten teacher, and then worked as a bookkeeper at Floyd Central High School in Indiana, and later as a bookkeeper for Donald Bacon, CPA in Illinois. Jo was a devout Christian and a loyal member of DePauw United Methodisst Church in New Albany, Indiana, and First Reformed Church of Wichert in St. Anne, Illinois. She was always kind, loving, patient, and wise.
