As a child, Jo Ann helped with her parent’s businesses and was driving a truck for their custom cutting at the age of 13. She also loved her parent’s ranch northwest of Freedom and often talked of Whiteman, her favorite horse, who arrived in a boxcar of cattle shipped up from Mexico.
Her parents, in partnership with her Aunt Verna (Scribner) Faulkner owned the Oklahoma Cigar Store. When the son of their cook, Ruby Cole, shipped off to the marines, Ruby suggested Jo Ann write him letters. That turned into a wonderful love story, lasting over sixty-six years.
After the girls were grown and out of the house, she turned her talents to crafting. She founded the first craft show in Alva, a legacy that continues today.
She is survived by daughter Virginia and Susan.
