Was called home peacefully the morning of June 2, 2016 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Originally from Springfield, IL, in 1960, while on a visit to Tucson, Mary Jo met her soulmate and later husband Charles. Together they built a strong foundation, raised their family, and spent 53 blessed years together until his passing in October of 2015.
Mary Jo made a name for herself in the Realty community for many years as an agent with Long Realty and in recent years with Realty Executives.
Preceded in death by her loving husband Charles (Chuck) Bass, parents Paul and Louise Warren, and sister Judi Ettelbrick.
She is survived by her loving sons, Dean, Patrick, and Brian, amazing grandchildren Brittney, Austin, Michael and Dylan, as well as her precious great grandchildren Jazlyn, Paige, and Ayden… also her loving sister Jean W. Root.
Mary Jo was deeply loved and respected by all who were blessed to know her.
A viewing will be held for Mary Jo on Monday June 13, 2016 at 1:00 pm followed by a memorial service at 2:00 pm at East Lawn Mortuary, 5801 E. Grant Road Tucson, Arizona.
In lieu of flowers, remembrance gifts can be made in Mary Jo's memory to Alzheimer's research.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the wonderful staff at The Villas for their outstanding care and support throughout the end of Mary Jo's journey.
