I worked with Mary Jo for several years at South Central Bell when we were both service reps. We had some really good times and she kept us all entertained with her witty and sweet personality. I remember how messy her desk always was but she knew where everything was. She was the best and I'm so sorry to hear of her death. She was always a good friend.

Mary Jo and I were service reps together at SCB in the mid-1970s and kept up over many years. I remember attending a junior high basketball game in Mt Juliet, Brian! Brian and Jeff, she loved you two...  Patricia (Pat) Price

Mom,
   You taught me so much in life and even teaching me after your passing.  I thought of you daily in life, and will continue to think of you daily in death.  One of the many things that you taught me is to have discipline and respect for other, but to also have a kind and forgiving heart.  Something your grandchildren will continue to learn.   I am actually still numb from this past week and STILL haven't let out any emotions, but I know you are looking down from above and will be there for me mentally when I do.  Miss and love you mom.

Mom,
   I am glad the God allowed me to be your son while on earth.  You gave of yourself so that Brian and I can have.  You loved unconditionally and forgave the same.  I am glad that you are not suffering any longer, but I will miss you.  I love you.  I will see you in Heaven

I was so saddened to hear about Mary Jo passing. 

I had the pleasure of having Mary Jo as my training instructor @ South Central Bell for 4 hilarious and fun-filled months and truly felt like I knew everyone in her family like I was a member.  I cherish those memories and will never forget what a loving, funny and extremely compassionate person she was.  

My deepest and sincerest sympathy to the entire family.

I remember Mary Jo Megar well when her family lived at Eastland and North 14th Streets during the 1940s.  Her cousin, Ed Megar, was a frequent visitor and Nancy Willis also lived in another section of the large house.  We all had a great time together.  Fond memories come together when I drive through the neighborhood while visiting Nashville.  Unfortunately we lost contact with each other after both our marriages.  I have wondered over the years where she was, etc.  Please accept my thoughts and prayers for your loss.

I loved Mary Jo --- she was a trainer at South Central Bell-- I was fortunate to have her as my instructor twice.  She was an excellent person.  Prayers for the family

I realize from this picture, that this is the same Mary Jo that I worked with for several years in the late 70's and early 80's. A sweet lady and under pressure, still a lady. I had not seen or talked with her for some years, due to distance and change of my own circumstances. 

To the family~~ I am sorry for your loss.

Jeff, I will keep you in my prayers.  Your Mom was a beautiful lady.  Jesus loves you and I do too!

Love my mama Mary Jo.  She would make me laugh with tears, cook a mean batch of spaghetti and give me a stern talking if I got out of line.  I love you to the moon and back!  I am blessed to have you in my and our family life.

We didn't know Mary Jo, but we certainly know her son, Jeff.  If, as they say, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, she was a phenomenal woman.  She raised a real man in Jeff, and we are blessed to know him.  From Jeff's testimony, we know that Mrs. Creswell is rejoicing with her Lord tonight.  In the final analysis, that's all that really matters.

Remembering all the good times we had together. The laughter at parties and the study of God Words in our Sunday School Class. God had a place prepared for you in Heaven so enjoy it to the fullest.  Your SS Class Carolyn Rosser
