They were the proud parents of two children, Diane Marie and Rob- ert Stanley, and Jo took on the role of homemaker. Although she regretted not obtaining her degree, she made up for it by being active with the local 4-H JURXSVDQGWHDFKLQJPHPEHUVWKH¿QHUSRLQWVRIFRRNLQJEDN ing and sewing. She was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed making clothes and costumes for her children and later making leather moccasins for her grandchildren.

She was very proud of her children and grandchildren and never missed an opportunity to brag about them. Jo was very active in the community and was a charter member of the Enterprise Community Church. She also was a member of PEO, Eastern Star and the Red Hat Society. She enjoyed traveling and was fortunate to visit several countries and destinations with close family and friends. She also golfed and played a good game of bridge. She had the honor of being Grand Marshall, along with her husband, at the Crazy Daze Pa- rade while living in Enterprise. Jo took pride in the fact that she was able to make a substan- tial donation to Wallowa County Health Care Foundation, as well as establish college accounts for her great-grandchildren. Following her husband’s tragic death in 1995, Jo remained in Enterprise for two years before relocating to Olympia, Wash., to be closer to her daughter.
