Jo Ann Witt Vaughn, 85, went home to be with the Lord on November 16, 2017, after a brief illness. The family would like to thank the Linda White Hospice Center in Evansville, Ind., for their guidance, comfort and care during this difficult time.

Jo Ann was born in Evansville on April 7, 1932, to the late Carl and Thelma (Dixon) Witt. Jo Ann's parents owned the Penny Can Grocery Store, an Evansville staple for many years, in downtown Evansville. Jo Ann was born and raised at the store and learned the values of running a business that would serve her later in life. As a youth, Jo Ann was very involved in church, singing in the choir and playing piano.

Jo Ann, a 1950 graduate of Bosse High School, met and married the love of her life, Arthur Vaughn, in September of 1953. Arthur preceded Jo Ann in death, after 57 loving years of marriage, in 2010. The Vaughn's had two daughters, Suzi, born in 1955 (deceased 1998), and Sheri in 1957. A talented writer, Jo Ann enjoyed entering advertising and jingle contests in the late 1950's and early 1960's, winning many prizes
