Jo Ann Scaglione is now "OUR ANGEL", after she ended her battle with cancer on April 13, 2000. She battled recurrent anal cancer for more then 16 months.. You may recall that Jo Ann traveled to The Bahamas last year for experimental cancer treatment. She went back again in September for a "TUNE UP". She also traveled to Atlanta for Immuno Therapy and Memphis for Hyperthermia treatments. I guess only God knows when it is time to meet him.

Jo Ann was the dear wife of Michael Scaglione, dear mother of Michael, Jr. and Matthew Scaglione, Christopher and Carmen Hayes, dear stepmother of Sarah Scaglione, dear grandmother of Joel Hayes, dear daughter of Rudy and Delores Achter, dear daughter-in-law of Edward and Betty Scaglione, dear sister of Barbara Turner and Linda Starnes, dear sister-in-law of Susan Bardol, Sandi Shymanski, and Steve Scaglione, dear aunt, cousin, friend. She will truly be missed by many others as well.

Jo Ann is in a place that is far greater than this one. She will live on in our hearts and the hearts of those who knew her. Jo Ann was laid to rest at the Shepherd Hills Cemetery, in Imperial, MO. She is in section 4, block 503, lot 6, space 5. Jo Ann's tombstone was erected just before her birthday, July 15th. It is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person.

The picture to the left is a shadow box that Mike Scaglione had designed to hold Jo Ann's cross from her casket, a rose from her flowers, her prayer card, and a picture of her. It is proudly displayed at the Scaglione home.
