Jo-Anne Britt

Mrs. Jo-Anne Britt, 85, of Fayetteville, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, July 26, 2021. Jo-Anne’s life was filled with her faith, family, and friends. She had a love for missions both home and foreign. Her works included local missions and several trips to Africa and Kwajalein Atoll (part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands). Jo-Anne spent time in her bible studies daily and instilled this value in her family. Her greatest advice to family was to make everything no matter how small an adventure.  Her loving spirit brought laughter to all who spent time with her.  Jo-Anne had many good friends with whom she spends many fun filled hours.  Jo-Anne was a school teacher, counselor, administrator and didn’t truly retire until 80.  She will be missed by all who knew her.
