Jo Ann Durchholz

Jo Ann spent her last days waiting to go to heaven with her Lord Jesus. Jo Ann would ask what the time was and when she would be going home to be with her Lord. It was such a blessing that she went into the arms of Jesus in her sleep, March 22, 2026, at Mercy Hospital, Springfield MO.
