Jo Ann spent many loving years as a rancher in CO and TX, with her husband Alvin Carroll Weston, before settling in Arlington, TX. After Carroll’s passing, she spent over 40 yrs in her cherished home on Lake Bridgeport, TX. Here, she spent her time until retirement, as a legal secretary for Durant Clements.

10 years ago the fateful day came that Jo Ann met Robert (Ernie) May, and a new love story was written. The next ten years of Jo Ann’s life was spent loving Ernie and ALL of her family. Although they had already committed their love to each other for 8 yrs., they made it official and were joined in marriage on December 15, 2017. Jo Ann loved to share and spent much of her time burning music CD’s, sewing do-rags, and marvelous bags to give away to all she knew and met along her journey of life. Of course she always had a great book to share as well. She most enjoyed the spectator sport of lake shenanigans.

JoAnn, was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Jimmy and Alan, her first husband Alvin Carroll Weston, daughter Linda (Weston) Wilson, and son Alvin Weston Jr. She is survived by her loving husband Robert (Ernie) May, daughter Mary (Doug) Bennett, sister Barbara Beasley, grandson David (Raquel) Wilson and their children, granddaughter Brittany Worrell (K.K. Frances), great grandchildren Kayson and Brooklyn Frances. Jo Ann’s stepfamily of over 10 years, from her union of love with Ernie, include step daughter Angie Brown, step grandchildren Amira Elsouki (Justin Williams), Austin Brown, step great grandchildren August, Aiden, and AJ Brown. Jo Ann will be dearly missed by many other relatives and scores of friends.
