Jo Ann was a lifelong Cass County, Missouri resident and attended school in Harrisonville, Missouri. Jo Ann worked as a caregiver her entire working career.

She was like a mom to me! Took care of me when I needed it the most! We shared road trips to the lake and garage sales and worshipped our Loving Father Jesus together! I will miss her
So sorry for the Loss of your Mother Shari and all your family’s loss. May all your Great Memories give you comfort. Thoughts &Prayers for you today and in the days ahead. RIP Jo Ann
Sending prayers for comfort and peace.
Sincere condolences for the this great loss. I have some special memories of my good friends’ Gangum! Her legacy will surely live on thru here many family members.
Prayers to all the family. Joann was a wounderful person when I worked at the care center at John Knox village she would always come find me and thank me for writing to her son Steve when he was incarcerated.. She would always take me for riding him and staying in touch keeping him company. She always told me every time she seen me and John Knox that she loved me.. I loved her too. I always look forward to seeing her every week when she came into John Knox Village..
She was such a wonderful lady. She was the first person at the apartments that made me feel like I could belong there. From morning coffee with Jo, Keith, Randy and Steve we had such a special bond. We would go shopping and run to sonic and just spend time together. I moved away and that broke my heat that we would not see each other as often. She is in no pain now and she is with Keith, Steve and Mat( I think)
Rest in pease my friend. I will forever miss you. I will still check on Randy for you.
