She went on to earn her Associates Degree in Accounting at Ohio University in 1954, where she met her late husband, Dale Britenbucher. Jo Anne dedicated twenty years to a career working for G.E. Credit. She continued to stay busy after retirement, serving in hospitals, cheering on her favorite Cleveland Sports teams, boating in Berlin Lake, planting her garden, and caring for her granddaughters.

Jo Anne made friends wherever she went. She was known in her bowling league, singles support group, and was a regular at her favorite restaurants and coffee shops. She was an active member of the North Canton Jr. Sorosis, where she organized local community projects and charity events. She was a lifelong member of the former Calvary Church in Canton, where she served as a Deacon. For the past six years, Jo Anne resided at Brewster Parke Senior Living Community, where she was known as "Jojo" and brought smiles to the staff who

compassionately cared for her.
