My heartfelt condolences go out to Dean, Lynn and Jeff. Jo will be truly missed by so many. I will cherish the many memories visiting the Mellor's up at the river, but mostly the yearly stop mom and I made to visit them both in Dickeyville. Jo was the best hostess and most amazing cook! I have many of her recipes to cherish. I will miss those big long bear hugs she would greet us with at each visit! One thing for sure, every Packer game that comes on I will hear her voice cheering them on! Rest in Peace without pain, JO. Love, Lori

Dean Mellor, my old friend and co-worker — Jo always greeted me with a cheerful smile and a ready laugh. Often times Jo would pick you up after our shift or, I’d see her up on campus squaring up accounts while I attempted to square up stubborn doors or wobbly drawers. What a wonderful daughter of God. Better we all are, who knew Johanna. ( Johanna, my grandmother’s name, means God is gracious ) Thinking of you and your family. Your pal, doggone Don Wilson (Shop 4)
