She fought a long and courageous battle with an extended illness. She was born in Terra Alta, WV on the fourth of July, 1930 and enjoyed many Independence Day parades in her home town with family and friends.

She enjoyed tending her garden, sewing, cooking, square dancing, WVU sports, and volunteered as a driver for the Monongalia County Meals on Wheels for many years. As her husband used to say with deep fondness and affection, “Jo dearly loves growing things! ” Her personality was brimming with hospitality and unconditional generosity to all who shared her home.

She is survived by her daughter, Karla Jo Barger of Morgantown, her son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Cathy Barger of Morgantown, and half-sister and husband, Carol Ann Kisner and David McGraw of Westover.
