Io was born in Memphis, TN to Joseph Tobin and Rosemary Lardner, and later moved to Chicago and Albany, NY, where she attended Berkeley Junior College and worked at Laidlaw Brokerage House before moving to Washington, D.C., where she met her husband. In her early marriage, she lived in Bridgeport, CT, and Ogdensburg, NY, before settling in Hyattsville in 1960 and moving to University Park in 1969. Io was a full-time mother and homemaker for her own family and to any child who needed her; many of her children’s friends saw Io as a second mother. She was an active member of St. Mark’s Parish in Hyattsville for many years, where her children attended school and she and her husband taught C.C.D. classes. Later, Io earned a degree in Education for Parish Service from Trinity College in Washington, D.C. and then, served as Director of Religious Education at St. Mark’s and was an adult-literacy volunteer. She was a daily Communicant, an avid reader, bridge player, and lifelong learner, frequently attending lectures, plays, and performances with her many friends. Io’s family and friends will always remember her for her great faith, her eternal optimism and gratitude, and her insistence on always seeking and recognizing the inherent goodness in every human heart.
