Mary Jo grew up in Chicago and later Worth, Illinois. She graduated from Northern Illinois University and later earned her master's degree. She enjoyed a fulfilling 33-year teaching career at Sward, Hannum, Gaddis and Kolmar grade schools in Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123. Over the years Mary Jo made legions of student, parent and teacher friends that she truly valued. She loved traveling, playing online poker and she recently moved into a new home before being hospitalized. Happy times included Harley rides with Moses, backyard swims, attending her grandkids' school and sporting events, casinos, girlfriend trips, lunches and nights out as well as family Birthdays and Christmases.
