“So, with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” John 16:22
Jo Ann Smith, age 72, and a resident of Denham Springs, La. passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on November 3, 2022. Jo Ann was the most loving, caring, and giving person. She did everything with so much love and never wanted anything in return. She enjoyed traveling, gardening, and spending time with family and friends. She was a member of Deep South Pond Society. She was a brilliant artist and everyone that knew her knew how beautiful her artwork was.
