Mary Jo was an active member of her community, devoting countless hours to various charitable causes and community organizations. She enjoyed gardening and tending to her plants with loving care; she was a sewer, baker and collector of many things. She made beautiful cards to share with her friends and loved ones. Her home was always open to friends and family, where laughter, love and the best homemade food were shared.

Mary Jo is survived by her husband, Richard; two children, Connie Dettman and Mike Karnopp; two grandchildren, Alyssa (Mike) Hawkins and Wade (Jocelyn) Dettman; three great-grandchildren Addison, Esperanza and Bennet; two siblings, Colleen (Mike) Myers and Jim (Carolyn) Brendemuehl; mother-in-law, Carol Loeffelholz; and many nieces and nephews.

Mary Jo was so very sweet. She used to work at the gas company in Platteville and I'd come in and we would talk and laugh. Hug and pray. I also used the bank she worked at. So I got to see her often until we moved and switched banks. I will miss this sweet lady. I'm so sorry for your loss.
