Nada Jo Weyrauch, 87 years, 8 months, and 16 days old, passed away on October 20, 2021.
Jo was born February 4, 1934 in Cloverdale, Kansas to Frank and Ada (Bohannan) Corder.
She met Tom while she was a waitress in Kansas when he was home on leave from the Navy. Then on November 20, 1954 Jo and Thomas Joseph Weyrauch Sr., were united in marriage in Los Angeles, California. Together they raised three sons, Harry “Jim” Smart, Thomas Weyrauch Jr., and Robert “Bob” Weyrauch. They lived in Kansas, California, and Mississippi before settling in Missouri. She received her GED in 1966 at the age of 32. That was an accomplishment she was very proud of. In 1970 she started working at the Rawlings Sporting Goods plant in Ava and retired in 1999.
She took the role of Grandmother seriously and helped raise five grandchildren! Jo enjoyed quilting, sewing, cooking and conversation in the kitchen with her coffee. Her greatest joy was her family!
