Jo Ann Chapman, formerly of Seguin, McQueeney, and Windcrest, passed from this life in New Braunfels, Texas on January 29, 2021 at the age of 88 years young. She was born in Seguin to Raymond E. and Elizabeth Stotzer.
Jo Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her brother Raymond Stotzer, Jr.; son Jay "Grizz" Watson; and her husbands Johnny "Buddy" Watson, George Herder, III, and Lieutenant Colonel Ronald A. Chapman.
She is survived by her daughter, grandchildren, great grandchildren, step children, sister, other relatives and many friends.
Jo Ann was raised in Seguin, Texas and graduated from Seguin High School and Durham Business College. Her early crocheting lessons from her grandmother and love of home economics laid the foundation for a lifetime of creative handiwork. At 18, she sewed her own elaborate wedding dress styled after an "original" in Frost Brothers window. In later years she created beautiful needlepoint pillows and maroon and white afghans and caps for family and friends.
Jo Ann was born with an adventurous spirit. She took flying lessons, rode her Honda Goldwing motorcycle, and traveled extensively. She enjoyed high school football games, entertaining family and friends, playing cards, shopping, beading, listening to her favorite singers Frank Sinatra and Bob Miller, cruising, getting dressed up "to the nines", and secretly buying scratch offs!
Jo Ann was a homemaker and later a dental assistant in Seguin, Texas. She served the community as a Girl Scout Leader and as President of the La Senisa ABWA Chapter.
Whatever life threw at her Jo Ann was always brave and optimistic. Even the cancer that took her life couldn't dim her spirit.
