It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jo Ann Marlow, age 69, of Huber Heights, on October 6, 2023. Jo was a beloved mother, devoted wife, cherished sister and adored grandmother. She is leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter and unforgettable memories.
Jo was preceded in death by parents, Fred and Belvia Napier; brother, Wayne Napier; sister-in-law, Hope Napier; and son, Tommy. She is survived by her loving husband, Jerry Marlow; children: Roy Blanton, Shelly Blanton, David (Tari) Marlow, Nicole Marlow, Shawntae Marlow and Austin Marlow; grandchildren: Kayla, Alex, Brett (Ashley), Tori, Bradley, Tommy, Brayden, Blake, Taeshawn, Kaliyah, Amya and A'Liciana; brothers Tommy Napier and Lonnie (Fran) Napier; and great-grandchildren: Easton and Wesley, as well as brother-and sister-in laws, nieces and nephews.
One of Jo's passions in life was her love for adventure. She found happiness and freedom on the back of a Harley, cruising the open roads with the wind in her hair. She loved to travel to new places, especially beaches and cruises with her family and friends.
She will be remembered for her zest in life, her boundless love and unwavering spirit as she bid farewell to this earthly journey and moved on to her beautiful mansion in Heaven.
