In addition, there are many grieving nieces, nephews & cousins who's lives were enriched by their relationship with her. Jo was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Jessica, who passed in 2013 due to MS which left a hole in her heart & soul. JoEllin adored her family with her whole heart and was endlessly proud and supportive of them. JoEllin had the warmest heart and a way of making everyone feel like they belonged. She’d call you “sweetheart” or “honey” whether she’d known you for years or just met you in passing—it was her signature, and it came straight from her Soul. Her endearing and openhearted nature lit up every room she walked into. She was incredibly bright and curious about the world, with a love for exploring spirituality, learning about new cultures, traveling, dancing to good music, and savoring the simple, beautiful moments life had to offer. Her devotion to her animals, particularly dogs, was unmatched—they were her constant companions and brought her so much comfort and happiness. JoEllin is now reunited with her parents, Joseph and Ruth Waters, her beloved daughter Jessica, and her nieces, Leyla and Marisa as well as her dearest Grandma & Grandpa, John L. & Esther Holladay. In addition there have been multiple dearly loved cousins, Aunts & Uncles who left behind a story of family & love. JoEllin’s legacy is one of love, generosity, and an unparalleled zest for life. She will be deeply missed. While her absence leaves a void, the example of love she set will forever live on in those who were fortunate enough to know her. Our beautiful JoEllin, you were truly one of a kind. Rest peacefully, knowing you were adored beyond measure. Give our other angels hugs and kisses.
