Leave a tribute for Jo Ann Greer Herron.
To the family members of Jo Ann Herron, so sorry to hear this news. I worked with Jo Ann at Voc Rehab and she was always helpful and kind to me. Jo Ann loved her family dearly and she bragged about her children and grandchildren on a daily basis. I missed Jo Ann when she retired from VR but would see her on a few occasions. I know she enjoyed her trips to Gatlinburg, spending time with her family, and she was a good cook. I liked to hear her laugh and hear her tell some funny stories. Jo Ann was one of a kind. I know you will miss her. My condolences and prayers of comfort for you all.
My sweet Aunt Joann. I can remember the special times I got to spend with you! You were always there to save me from naps in Kindergarten and take me home with you ! I’m so thankful to have had you in my life! Such a special lady! Rest in peace my love until we meet again !
Colt, Amanda, Kevin and family so sorry to hear about your loved one passing away. May the Lord cuddle you all in his arms and comfort you all during this sad time and always. Prayers for the all the family. From: Rachel Causby Morgan.
To the Family I'm so sorry for your loss I pray that the good Lord will wrap his arms around you all and comfort you all
Karen, Daleleen, Kevin, and Rodney, I'm sorry for your loss but know she and you guys had a long, hard struggle. I spent a lot of time at your house growing up and your mom corrected me numerous times but some of those lectures didn't take as you know. I was never Sandy but always Sandra. Praying for all of you. Love always.
Thinking of Jo Ann today, and can't help smiling. We spent many hours on. bleachers at basketball, football, and baseball games. Jo Ann could be counted on to keep us laughing! So many family cookouts and dinners! And so many celebrations of weddings and babies and birthdays! We are honored to have known her.
This is heartbreaking news. I am blessed to have known Jo Ann my whole life growing up. She and Dale have a special place in my heart.
So sorry to see this. Prayers for the family.
She is finally at rest. What a testimony she left behind!! Praying for the family
She always greeted me with love !you will be missed !
