OBITUARY: Johanna "Jo" C. Perry, March 11, 1964 ~ November 6, 2019 - reprinted from the Starkson Family Life Celebration Chapel website

After a lengthy illness, Jo passed away on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at United Hospital, with Bruce by her side.

Jo was born in Hastings, Minnesota on March 11, 1964, the daughter of Joan (Langenfeld) and James "Jim" Grier. She graduated from Hastings High School and went on to work at Augustana Care Center. She met Bruce Perry and they were married on August 24, 1991 at Guardian Angels Catholic Church in downtown Hastings. She and Bruce loved going up to the lake in Siren, Wisconsin. They enjoyed fishing, swimming, and being together with family and friends. Jo was very organized and always had a clean house. Jo was an excellent cook and would make the famous family "hunter's dish". She was great mother to Jeffrey and a wonderful aunt to all of her nieces and nephews. She was an avid Green Bay Packers fan and took the trip to Lambeau Field many times. In her spare time, Jo loved to go shopping with the gals. Her family meant the world to her and she truly loved taking care of everyone. She will be missed by all who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her father, Jim Grier; her sister, Sue Peterson; brother, John Grier; brother-in-law, Mark Peterson; and her in-laws, Caroline and Buzz Perry.
