Ms O was a dear friend to me and introduced me to the wonderful world of camping and hiking! I have so many fond memories of trips we took together. I have used the things I learned from her for a lifetime and have passed the love of nature and hiking on to my kids. Julie and Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. She lived a rich and fulfilling life and I’m grateful to have known her.
I have many happy childhood memories of Julie and Lisa and Jo! I remember her always smiling, just like in this picture!
What a beautiful tribute to a lovely lady. Comfort for you, Lisa and Julie, and all your families.
Love,
Linda (Rodgers) Goodman
I have many fond memories of the Ogletree household. Prayers and Hugs for Lisa and Julie.

prayers for Lisa and Julie! Growing up on North Ave, one street over from Ms Jo, I remember growing up with Bud, trick or treats and ballgames. After four years of marriage I ended up right next door to her Mom and would see her often at the vet and then at The Shed and when she came to visit her mom. Our lives continued to connect when she built her home next door. Funny stories and memories flood our thoughts this morning of different moments. We had the love of camping in common and she always shared her love of nature and experiences camping.. Go fly high on that mountain, Ms. Jo!
Ms. Jo always had a big smile and contagious laugh. Growing up it was always fun at her house As an adult , it was a joy to be walking my babies and pass by her house and she’d be in the yard. Prays to Lisa, Julie, and other family . An Angel earned her wings!
We will miss seeing her this coming spring in the garden center at Ace Hardware. She was always a great friend and customer. William Jackson
I grew up on Smoak Ave next to the Ogletree’s and have many memories of spending time in her home. My mother, Helen Bryan, babysat her son Bud and I played with both Julie and Lisa. My condolences to the family as they grieve the loss of their mother!
