Jo is survived by son Wesley Curry Powell Jr. (Linda); and daughter Ila Mae Knox (Mark); sister Faye Armstrong, brothers Marvin Baldwin (Judy) and Robert Baldwin (Helen); grandchildren Melissa Marie Melvin (Josh), Aaron Lee Knox; great grandchildren Jacob Melvin and Savannah Knox.

Ms. Powell leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews to cherish her memory.

Known as a hard worker, Jo could do most anything she set her mind to. When out shopping she would often say, "Oh, I can make that..." She worked for years as a meat packer but also loved to bake. Her family members were quick to speak up about her carrot cake and lemon meringue pie. Jo whipped up her own recipes featuring her "swamp salad."

A visitation for Jo will be held Tuesday, August 4, 2020 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Leak Memory Chapel, followed by a funeral service at 1:00 PM. Services for Ms. Powell will end at Montgomery Memorial Cemetery, 3001 Simmons Drive, Montgomery, Alabama 36108-3928.

Serving as pallbearers are Shannon Summerlin, Matt Parker, Emily Summerlin, Matthew Parker, Donnie Hammonds and Mason Hester.
