A woman of many talents. Master crafter! Jo-Anne was an extremely skilled artist who was passionate about sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, painting…you name it – she mastered it! Her most “unique” and loved creations were her children and grandchildren. Over her lifetime she mended many of their rips, scraped knees and broken hearts. She treasured her close knit friendships. She was a bright light in the lives of all who loved her and always had a kind word for everyone. Hers was truly a life stitched with love.
