She fought a long and difficult battle against Alzheimer's. She was 80 years old and a longtime resident of Grand Junction. Jo graduated from Grand Junction High School in 1950, attended Mesa College, and received her Bachelor's Degree from University of Colorado in 1954. She and her husband owned and operated various mining companies. Their success in business enabled Jo to pursue her many passions. Jo loved to play tennis and developed many long and happy friendships from her days on the court. In later life, she developed a passion for golf and played several times a week. Jo's lifelong love of reading manifested itself in many ways, including owning a bookstore, sponsoring the Reader's Festival at Mesa State College and a longtime membership in the Reviewer's Book Club, as well as several other book clubs. She instilled that love of reading in all of her children and grandchildren. Jo leaves behind her husband of 56 years, Bill; three daughters, Kelly (Paul), Julie (Gordon) and Holly (Kevin); one son, Brent (CJ), and two grandchildren, William and Sigismund. The family would like to thank the wonderful Hospice care givers, the staff of The Commons Safe Haven Wing, and Jo's special care givers from both Columbine Caregivers and Hilltop Home Care. The care which she received from the Hospice staff and especially from her daughter Julie helped Jo's last days to be peaceful and pain free. Services are pending. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado, 3090B N. 12th St., Grand Junction, CO 81506. (Published in The Daily Sentinel on Oct. 28, 2012)
