Jo was born in Detroit, Michigan, received her BA at Marygrove College, Detroit and her MA in Art Education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

She was instrumental in bringing the film and entertainment industry to Colorado. Many will remember Jo as the redheaded, blue eyed, Irish Catholic. Her passion was teaching people to shine.

Jo is survived by her children Christine, Kathleen, Mark and Maureen, and her three grandchildren Patrick, Brooke and Brindy. No services are planned.
