BETTY JO MAGRUDER, WINTERSET

Betty Jo Magruder, 83, of Winterset died Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012.

Betty Jo was born Nov. 8, 1928, in Wellsville, Mo., to Iva and Carl Peery. She grew up in Aurora, Colo., and graduated from William Smith High School. Betty Jo lived in Arizona for 30 years, was the proprietor of Jo’s Fashions and later in life worked at 3G’s in Casa Grande, Ariz. She spent the last six years in Iowa, surrounded by family and friends.

Betty Jo was a woman who loved her family, made life-long friendships, loved to cook, handmade all of her granddaughters’ Halloween costumes, had a great sense of humor and was fiercely loyal. Words can’t convey all of the attributes and amazing qualities this wonderful woman held. She was the consummate picture of a real lady. Betty Jo touched many lives, and we are all better for having known her. She lived a rich and full life, blessed with many friends and family members who loved her.

She is survived by her children, April Beth Kohler and Michael James Hoover; grandchildren Willow Jorel Phillips and Whisper Lizabeth Kohler; great-grandchildren Kennedy Elizabeth Phillips and soon-to-be Brylyn Jolee Phillips.

At her request, no services will be held. She asked that you not mourn, but celebrate life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Winterset Care Center South Activities Fund in her name (715 S. 2nd Ave., Winterset IA 50273).
