Jo-Ann was born in Newton on April 10, 1950 to the late Caleb and Mary (Vanderhoff) Talmadge. She enjoyed crafting, listening to her oldies, and driving her hotrod ’69 Camaro. Above all, Jo-Ann loved spending time with her adoring family. Her beautiful smile was contagious and would light up any room she entered. Jo-Ann will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know her.
Jo-Ann is survived by her children, Tara Fansler, Mary Fansler and Gary Fansler; her sisters, Judy Smith and Edna Talmadge; her brother, Ralph Talmadge; her grandchildren, Katharine Fansler, Josh Wright and Tyler Fansler; her great-grandchildren, Michael Dontas, Joshua Wright Jr., Jace Wright, Olivia Fansler, and Emily Fansler;
All services will be held privately at a later date.
