Jo was warm, kind, genuine, and open minded to all people. She was a giving person and extremely charitable to others throughout her life. She loved the arts, classic movies, and music. She was a bright business woman who traveled to fascinating destinations. Jo was a UConn Women’s Huskies super fan – she was passionate about the team. Her mind was curious and she would forever explore through books and documentaries to learn about history, people’s lives, and life experiences. One of Jo's greatest passions was her love for cats, dogs and all wildlife. Jo wished for a peaceful burial surrounded by family.
