“Hands of an artist, smile of a friend” described Jo-Lynn’s high school yearbook picture and was true all her life. She loved raising her children — drawing and painting with them, making clothes and dance costumes, making sure they had piano lessons and played in band, and supporting whatever they did as adults. Jo-Lynn was an excellent secretary at Timex when she became a homemaker, then was proud of her work as a machinist at Teletype, where she retired. She loved her Lord and Savior and had many friends at Bible Study Fellowship and her church. She was a prayer warrior for her children and anyone who requested prayer, as part of her daily prayer and Bible reading routine, guided by the Daily Bread devotional book that she distributed to her children. JoLynn lived life well and we will miss her as long as we’re on this earth, but we are joyful at the prospect of seeing her again in Heaven.
