Jo was the proud wife of Jack Neely, who owned and operated Glenwood Exxon (Neely’s) on Tuckaseegee Rd. Jo’s first job was working at Sears and later a long-term employee of Keith Chiropractic.
She is survived by her daughter Debbie and husband John Beddow from Little River, SC and her son Mark and wife Kim Neely from Marietta, GA. She is also survived by grandchildren Zack and Emma Neely, the loves of her life.
Jo never met a stranger and she never forgot a thing. She could tell stories as if they were yesterday. Jo was a teenager at heart and mind up until her last days.
