She is also survived by a brother and sister-in-law, James and Joan Welton of Aurora, CO; 15 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, as well as many of her close church and al-anon friends. Jo was raised near Worms NE and attended elementary school at District 28. She later attended Grand Island Senior High, graduating in 1950. On March 17th, 1953 Jo married William C. Mudloff in Jacksonville NC. She was a dedicated and loyal employee of J.C. Penney's for over 25 years. She also enjoyed working at Sutter Dairy, The National Council on Alcoholism, and in her later years, gathering information for the United States Census Bureau. She had a great passion for genealogy which took her all over the countryside gathering information. She was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed sewing, having donated dozens of Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls for raffles at Karnival Kapers. She was an avid bowler and enjoyed a good read. Jo was always active in her community and with her church. She enjoyed being a Den Mother for Cub Scouts, team member for Crusillo Weekends, St. Leo's Jail Ministry, Minister to the homebound, as well as an active member of Al-Anon for over 50 years. Her love of God was boundless and her belief that we are all His kids was evident in her interaction with those she came into contact with. The family would like to thank Megan and the entire Lebensraum staff for the outstanding care that Mom received from the moment she became a member of the Lebensraum family. We would also like to express our gratitude to Ashley and the entire St. Croix Hospice team for helping us all through Mom's transition. The compassion, gentleness, and devotion given by Lebensraum and St. Croix Hospice is a testament to the fact that you are truly God's People, and moms passion was God's People. Joan was preceded in death by her husband Bill, an infant daughter Mary Jo, her parents George and Laura Welton, her brother Ernest, and sister Dorothy Maas.
