Mary Jo was a beloved mother, wife, and friend to many. Throughout her long and happy life, she never met a stranger. Her beautiful smile and genuine interest in the lives and welfare of others was always a defining trait. She loved Jesus, BIG earrings, a good road trip, a funny story, and her big family. She was a member of Willowbrook Church where she loved her Sunday school class. She had a generous heart and during her life she served others in various volunteer pursuits.
A celebration of her life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be made to Huntsville Hospital Foundation, designated to Hospice Family Care; 801 Clinton Avenue East; Huntsville, Alabama 35801.
