Jo was a lifelong Methodist and early member of the First Methodist Church of Palacios. She was instrumental in preparing the history of this church for its 75th anniversary celebration. She held many offices in the church and women’s society, but more importantly, she was a true and faithful member and a Christian in every sense of the word. She was a charter member of Athena Club, member of Matagorda County Federated Women’s Club and Chamber of Commerce. She was involved in community affairs and always concerned about making Palacios a better place to live. Her interests were many, and she had a thirst for knowledge. She was mother, sister, Nana, friend—a very special person that will be missed by all.
