Mary Jo was a fantastic person. Our paths crossed many years ago while volunteering at the Relay for Life. She will be missed. Prayers to all of her family and friends.
To Robert, Laurie ,Lucille Christopher and families,
I was so sad to hear about my cousin Mary Jo’s death. She had a beautiful and loving personality to whom ever she came in contact with. We try to keep in contact on a monthly bases. My teaching job keeps me extremely busy and going to school for my doctorate.in education.
I often thought Mary Jo might had been a nun. She was always there for everyone.
I know God has a special place for her.
A mass was said for her on September 25, 2020 at our retreat house in Albuquerque ,N.M.
She will be remember in my prayers.

Dear Robert and family. So sorry to hear about Mary Jo. She was a great person and knew how to take care of business while being friendly and personable to all. She did a good job when she took over newspaper from Dad and ran it as he would have. She certainly will be missed by many.
I was shocked to read about Mary Jo’s passing. She and I have been friends since we were 6 years old. I will miss speaking with her and hearing about her exploits and receiving family updates. My prayers are with her family.
I’m so sorry to just hear about Mary Jo’s passing. We worked together at the Clerk of the Circuit Court and lived a few blocks away so we saw each other often. She was a wonderful person, always kind, knowledgeable and willing to help. She leaves behind many fond memories.
