JoAnn Hurt

JoAnn Hensley was born on September 16, 1958 to the late Horace Hensley Sr. and Janie Mae Jones in Longview, Texas. She attended East Ward Elementary and graduated from Womack High in 1975.

Caring for people was JoAnn’s first love. Although she never had her own children she took pride in nurturing her nieces and nephews. Her love spilled over into her cooking for family and friends, she always made sure everyone was full. JoAnn was a professional private home caregiver for John Peter Smith Hospital for many years.

JoAnn enjoyed crocheting, reading the Bible and Romance novels.

On January 4, 2020 God laid JoAnn down gently to rest.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Ida Jean Jones Roberts, brother Troy Lee Jones, nephew Ernest Womack and great niece Erica Womack.
