Jo Ellen Anderson Hayes, 78, died at home on August 31, 2016. Born in Konawa, Oklahoma, on June 20, 1938, to Josephine Phoebe and Edwin Anderson, she and her family relocated to Oklahoma City before she started school. She attended Willard Elementary School, Roosevelt Jr. High School, and graduating from Central High School in 1956. Immediately following graduation, she attended St. Anthony's School of Nursing in Oklahoma City, receiving her Registered Nurse Certification in 1959. Jo Ellen married Russell Owen Hayes in Louise Pritchard Chapel, First Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, on September 4, 1959. She began her nursing career as a surgical scrub nurse with McBride Bone & Joint Hospital in Oklahoma City, which continued for 10 years. After the family relocated to Norman, Oklahoma, she moved to a night nursing position with Griffin Memorial Central State Hospital, advancing to the position of night nursing administrator before her retirement in 1994 following a 22-year long career. Jo Ellen was a tribal member of Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a lifetime member of the 1889ers Society, serving as an officer for many years. She and Russell were members of the Oklahoma Historical Society, Spencer Historical Society, Harrah Historical Society, and McLoud Historical Society. Jo Ellen served as docent guide for the Oklahoma Governor's Mansion. She also spent many joyful hours organizing and decorating for her annual Central High School class and all school reunions; she had amazing memories of her classmates, maintaining lifelong friendships with many of them.
