Jo loved family get togethers, especially Christmas Eve and midnight mass.
She had a wonderful sense of humor and the laughter she created in our home was the glue that held us together.
She also loved reading, cooking, gardening and fishing.
Another favorite past time was following Gonzaga basketball and Seattle Mariners.
