Jo-Ann passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Charlton Campus after a short illness. Born and raised in Hamilton, Jo-Ann was a graduate of Glendale High School and McMaster University earning her B.Comm. She earned her MBA in Paris, France.

Growing up in the sixties, Jo-Ann loved the music and dance of that era. She lived her entire life in Hamilton volunteering for many local organizations and supported numerous charities. Jo-Ann will be fondly remembered by relatives and family near and far. She touched many people and will be missed by all. Everyone loved her for her sense of truth and fairness and her honest soft-spoken manner. We will all remember her creativity and sense of humor.

Special thanks to Dr. Anne Woods and the superb staff at St. Joseph’s. Private cremation has taken place. A celebration of Jo-Ann's life will be announced at a later time.
