    My mother was a woman like no other. She gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, fought for me, held me and yelled at me but most importantly loved me unconditionally. There are not enough words to describe just how important she is to me and what a powerful influence she continues to be. I love you mom ♥️

    Mickey Jo and I met at age five living across the street from each other in Shenandoah..
    We made many memories together during our childhoods growing up.
    My deepest sympathies to her family.

    As a friend of Mickey’s daughters growing up, I always appreciated how kind Mickey was and how she always made me feel welcome in her home. My deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of a remarkable wife, mother and grandmother.

    Thoughts and prayers for your family. I worked with Mickey for many years at Methodist on the OB floor. We had so much fun and what a wonderful nurse and mentor.

    Dear Gary and Family
    So sorry to hear about the passing of Mickey Jo. Please know that you are in my thoughts. I always felt I was one of the Shenandoah classmates. Rely on your family for the support that you will need in the days to come.
