Jo Ann Flemming
March 29, 1934 — November 29, 2016
Jo Ann Flemming, 82, passed away on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 in Frisco, TX after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother and will be greatly missed. We will be forever grateful for her legacy of teaching us faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and the importance of family which she instilled with so many family traditions that we still continue today. She was an amazing cook and many memories were made around her table. She loved playing the piano and challenging anyone to a round of golf or a tennis match.
Funeral Services will be at 11:00 AM Tuesday, December 6, 2016 in Schooler Funeral Home’s Brentwood Chapel with Dick Marcear officiating. Private burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia.

She graduated from high school in Midland, TX and attended Texas Tech University where she met and fell in love with her husband of 55 years, Daniel B. Flemming. They were married on June 21, 1952. They settled permanently in Amarillo in 1964. Dan passed away in 2007 and Jo Ann relocated to Frisco, TX in 2014 to be near her daughter and other family members.
Jo Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Ruby Lee Nelson, husband, Dan, son, Larry, and sister, Carolyn Johnson.
She is survived by daughter, Linda Moore and husband Kent, of Frisco, 5 grandchildren; Jessica Jaggard and husband, Griff, of Katy, Nicole Pendley and husband, Lance, of Frisco, Callie Redden and husband, Bruce, of Dallas, Lauren Moore of Dallas and Travis Moore of Dallas. 4 great grandchildren; Campbell and Case Jaggard of Katy, and Austin and Leighton Pendley of Frisco.

We want to say thank you to the loving caregivers who have assisted Jo Ann in this difficult journey with Alzheimer’s. To all of the staff in all of the facilities at Ware Living Center in Amarillo and Mustang Creek Estates in Frisco, as well as Envoy Hospice in Frisco, you are angels on earth and we will forever be thankful for your kindness and compassion. Also, we are so grateful to Penny Holland who was a cherished and treasured friend, helper, and companion to Jo Ann and Dan for many years.
