I have know Jo Adcox all of my life. I went to Euclid Ave Bapt Church from the time I was about 12 until after I got married and moved when I was 23. She was always there and a very special lady. I was at Raymond Maples' funeral at Euclid and it was a very emotional day for everyone there. I didn't realize that she was still alive and am very impressed that she lived to be 101. My Mother (Louise Wise) was in Jo's SS Class. She is 95 yrs old now. It was a blessing to have known her those years while I was at Euclid. God bless all her family members who have been blessed with this great lady.

Ms Jo was always such a blessing to Lucinda and me, each time we visited with her the sweet smile was so encouraging. She never knew how much she blessed the entire congregation at Basswood. She is the definition of a life well lived; loved her family and loved her Lord. Thank you Ms Jo for being our friend and a wonderful example of Godliness. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. God bless.
