ke it easier on someone else. She was the type of person who made best friends with her ex-husband's third wife, Celia. They were inseparable, and created a family environment that was warm and caring for both growing daughters. Anyone who knew her knew she lived for her daughters Christina and Nicole. She was a remarkable mother who showed her daughters unconditional love and support. She taught them lessons so engrained into their personalities that these traits will be gifts to be discovered through their lifetimes. Jo-Lyn was the family glue. She was the one who kept the family in contact with each other. She dearly loved her brother Ron and sisters Carroll and Bobbi. She was also very close to her nieces P.J. and Amber. On December 24 2017, Jo-Lyn met the love of her life, her grandson, Gabriel. Born the day before her youngest daughter's birthday, Gabriel was already in on an inside joke with his Nana, Jo-Lyn shined as a Nana. She got a spark in her that was visible and audible every time she spoke his name. Gabriel in turn lit up for his Nana. They had a connection that could not be understood from the outside of it. Jo-Lyn is survived by her daughters Christina and Nicole, son in law Mike, grandson Gabriel, brother Ron and sister in law Blanca, nephew Nico, sister Bobbi, nieces P.J. and Amber, sister Carroll, nephews William, David, and Stephen, niece Rose, and step daughters Patricia, Elizabeth, Suzanne, and Laura. Jo-Lyn lived her life to her terms. She was a survivor, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend that will never be matched anywhere. May she find peace where she is, while those of us who are left find peace until we see her again.
