Jo Anne was born in Sturgis, Michigan on March 24, 1940, a daughter of the late Edith (Gable) Gravit and Ronald Rawles.

Jo Anne will be sadly missed by her children, Donald Myers, Jr., Sherri Schreiber, Lisa Holtz & James Medley, Jr.; her grandchildren and great grandchild.

She was also preceded in death by brother, Ronald (Clinton) Rawles and sisters, Dorothy Donahue & Mary Huber and great granddaughter, Melody Marie Gangwer.
