Jo Ann Lewis
Beloved mother Jo Ann (nee Wilson) Lewis, 68, was healed on Nov. 11, 2024, after suffering complications of a stroke.
Jo was born on Nov. 29, 1955, in Weston, W. Va., to Gary B. Wilson and Joann (nee Kelley) Wilson, of Jane Lew, W. Va.
A mother who loved spending time with her family and grandchildren, she was always there for them. She held many titles in her life, but her favorite role was being a mother and grandmother. Her tenderness, kind and loving ways are what will get our family through the loneliness ahead.
Surviving is her husband, James R. Lewis; and children, James Joseph Lewis (Jennifer), Rachel Dawn Pearson (Brian); sister, Dora E. Wilson West (Gary Thomas West and Brandon Michael West); dearest cousin Darlene Kelley-Bean; and two grandchildren, Weston James Lewis and Andrew Joseph Lewis.
Also surviving is lifelong best friend Kimberly McQuain.
She was preceded in death by her father, Gary B. Wilson; her loving mother, Joann Wilson; uncle, Harley Wilson; cousin Robert William “Billy” Kelley; aunt, Patricia “Patty” Crouch; and many other friends and family lost along the way.
At her request, there will be no memorial service by immediate family.
A cremation will take place at Burr Funeral Home in Chardon.
She wished to be remembered and acknowledged as a hard-working, loving mother, grandmother and loyal friend.
The obituary was lovingly written by her family.
Cremation has been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home in Chardon. Information and condolences online at www.burrservice.com.
