July 14, 1948 - November 29, 2013
*Obituary
Jo Ann Snapp, 65, died Nov. 29, 2013, after suffering a massive heart attack at her home.
Six years ago Jo Ann moved back to Arkansas from Ojai, Calif., and made her home in Mountain View.
Jo Ann was the second of nine children born to Margaret E. (Rains) Snapp and Molon B. Snapp, both deceased. Jo Ann, along with sisters Norma Jean and Carolyn Mae, was born in Arkansas. In the 50's her family moved to Michigan City, Ind., where Connie Sue, Barnet Molon, Don Wayne, Donna Lee, Debra Lynn (deceased) and Tammy Lynn were born.
Jo Ann moved to California in the 70's. She was a beloved Auntie to 11 nieces and nephews, and great-auntie to 22 great-nieces and nephews.
Jo Ann had a long career in retail and logistics. In retirement she became an author of fiction, publishing 11 books. She was working on a 12th book at the time of her death. Jo Ann's love of writing stared at the age of 9 when she wrote her first long story. She used her gift of writing to teach others about the Lord, whom she loved with all her heart. She dedicated her life to serving Jesus and her adult life to caring for others.
Jo Ann became the first in her family to earn a college degree after dedicating herself to taking one class a semester for nine years while working full-time. She earned an associate of arts degree in business from Ventura College in 1993.
A graveside service will be held at Flatwoods Cemetery on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 1 p.m.
