    Jo was a wonderful friend who I had the pleasure of working with multiple times with the Eagles. Due to her years of service as state newsletter editor, she was awarded the first Nebraska State Auxiliary Recognition Award in 2004. The medal is inscribed “For Exemplary Dedication to the Nebraska State Eagles Auxiliary.” Her smiles, her devotion, and her wisdom will be sorely missed. I extend my sincere sympathy to the family, friends, and fellow Eagles who now mourn the passing of this wonderful woman. God bless you all.
