JoAnne Elizabeth (Jacobs) Tevis
JoAnne Elizabeth (Jacobs) TevisCrossJoAnne Elizabeth (Jacobs) Tevis, age 72 of Marion, left this earth to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 after a long battle with cancer.  She passed away at Lake Wales Medical Center surrounded by her loving family.

JoAnne was born December 12, 1938 to the late Carl and Henrietta Mae (Hedges) Jacobs at their home near York Center.  She attended school at York Center and through consolidation, spent her high school years at Byhalia.

On December 31, 1954 she married Paul Eugene Tevis in the Richmond Methodist Church.  They moved to the Richwood area and were blessed with five children, who all attended and graduated from the Richwood-North Union Public Schools.

JoAnne is survived by one son, Paul Eugene (Molly) Tevis Jr., Steubenville; four daughters, Mary (Bruce) Robinson, Marion; Melissa (Robert) Werley, Vermilion; Debra (David) Clayton, Wadsworth; Pamela (Richard) Fussell, League City, Texas; nineteen grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren; three sisters, Janet (Larry) Dunn, Marysville; Jean (Richard) Plotner, Marion; Becky (Ron) Rynders, Abilene, Texas; three brothers, Charles (Lucille) Jacobs, Prospect; Jim (Donna) Jacobs, Little Hocking; Jerry (Linda) Jacobs, Garrettsville.  Preceding her in death were her parents and three brothers.

She was a member of the Crosswood United Methodist Church.  JoAnne was very active in school activities during the years her children were attending school.  She was president of the PTA, the Progressive Mothers Club and the North Union Music Boosters.  She was a room mother for several years and chairperson of the Richwood Springenfest.  She was a 4-H leader for many years while her children were in school and served on the election board for many years in Union and Marion Counties.

JoAnne and her husband were quite active in the Marion Hicks and Chicks Western Square Dance Club and the Swamp Fox Camping Club for a number of years.  She was a member of Creators Gild in Marion Since 1989 where she served as president for one term.

She worked for several years at the grocery stores in Richwood.  She and her husband moved to the Prospect Area and she worked for LSY Advertising and retired from MPS Credit Union.  She also had her own craft business for a number of years.

After her husband, Paul (Gene) retired from Marion Power Shovel, they spent their winters in Lake Wales, Florida where they enjoyed several activities.  JoAnne was in charge of the Sunday church services and played the piano.  She was also chairperson of the Thursday Crafts.

Funeral services will be Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 1:30 PM in the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood with Pastor Ryan Chivington officiating.  Burial will follow in Prospect Cemetery.  Friends may call on Sunday from 2 to 5 PM at the funeral home in Richwood.

I feel a million miles away but was so glad we could be with her last Sunday.  Her spirit was there and I think I saw a tinkle when I mentioned playing the piano. She was a clone of our Mom and that was so good.  Gene, we love you and your family and know that you both were very proud of your accomplishments.  Although I can not be with you I wish you Precious Memories with Love and Many Hugs,  Sister Jan,and Larry

Joanne will surely be missed.  She was an important part of The Harbor, from her playing the piano and leading the singing, to doing crafts.  She taught me how to do Swedish Weaving afghans, and I went on to complete thirteen of them, thanks to Joanne.  She taught a class on making a Christmas tree with beads and safety pins, which I have in Florida.  It will be special when lit this year as we remember all the fun we had with Joanne. We will keep your family in our prayers.  Don and Diane Oliver

Gene & families,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in this time of sorrow. I have fond memories of JoAnne, especially when we were young.  Her memory will live on in our hearts.  May the comfort of friends and family be your strength now and in the days ahead. You're in my thoughts & prayers.

Sorry to hear about JoAnne.  We have thought about her often.  Ohio family names always come up when Adams' are together around the kitchen table or on the deck.  Everyone is kind of speechless to hear the sad news; but we all know breast cancer can be very devasting.
Love your Illinois' family:   David/Jane

JoAnne meant so much to us.  When we were newly retired, we decided to check out florida.  JoAnne and Gene made our life there so much fun and so interesting, we kept going back.  We have the beautiful lighted christmas trees she tought me (and others) to make, and several other things.  I will always think of her so fondly when we use them and always.  Our sympathies to Gene and the rest of the family and everyone who knew and loved her.

To all of JoAnne's family.  I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but JoAnne and I drove to work together for many years and LSY.  She was a great friend and a great person.  We had some good times.  She will be missed.  May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Joanne's passing. Hope the family is doing well during this difficult time. I have many fond memories of spending time with her & the kids while growing up. She was always the "life of the party" & loved teasing us kids, but that was her way of showing her love for us. She was one of only a handful of family members that I graciously allowed to call me "Netta" or "Netty", because she said it in a special way of endearment. Her enthusiastic spirit will be greatly missed! Love, Lynnetta Tevis & Family

Both of you have been so helpful with Dad.  I thank God they have friends like you.  I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.  Love, Delina
