Jo Jennings Celebration Of Life Service in Garland, Texas

THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US

From Dad and all of our family we thank everyone that attended Mom’s service whether being there, watching on streaming, praying for, or thinking about us. The service was so amazing. Thank you to everyone that has reached out, prayed, called, texted, those that sent the amazing flowers, or made a donation in honor of Mom. And a special thank you to everyone at our church that assisted in any way, our amazing Pastors, Pipe Major Bob Richardson, Martinez Restaurant Mesquite, and McShan Florist.

We are so thankful for all of you.

Jo Jennings was truly one-of-a-kind!

As she continued to tell us, “I have lived a full and complete life. I have had an amazing and wonderful marriage that gave me two beautiful children and grandchildren. I have made friends that lasted a lifetime. I have traveled to faraway places and had many adventures that most dream of. I have been able to live out my dream of creating things that make others smile. I have NO regrets. I wouldn’t do anything different if given a second chance.”

She learned to create jewelry at the age of 13 with her mom and she never stopped creating. She treasured the thought that she was creating something that would bring joy and memories for generations. She created for 75+ years and loved every minute of it.

There was always a smile on her face and she was always trying to make others smile too. She was always positive and encouraging. She treasured spending time with family and friends and always made the most of those moments.

She leaves this world with the knowledge that she made a difference. She made it brighter, more interesting, and most of all….fun! She summed up the life she led by the post it she put on her lamp for all to see.

It said, “I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH. Jo”

So, live a life worth remembering…….
