Jo's story
Hunt Valley, Maryland, by way of Reisterstown and a lot of summers on Lake George.
During her career as a lower elementary school teacher, Jo loved nourishing and educating children. Some of her students reached out decades later to let her family know how much she meant to them. Being a grandmother to Ava revived Jo's love of stories, games, crafts, and of course, many stuffed animals.
Jo loved sewing, quilting, and even better, hunting a good bargain on craft supplies. If a craft involved a heart, Jo loved it even more because of her maiden name, Hart.
Jo and Richard were married on Christmas Eve. She loved Christmas and supported Richard's retirement job as a mall Santa. But you'd better not call her Mrs. Claus unless you wanted to get put on the naughty list. Jo Wray stuck to her own name and her own story.
