Years ago I worked with JoAnne at Div. of Social Services. She mentored me some when I came on board as an intake worker for Child Protective Services. I accompanied her one day down to her mother's in Virginia and we had delicious lump crab meat for lunch. It was the best I have ever had. I remember that day fondly as well as other times shared with JoAnne. I,too will cherish her memory.
I will just leave a brief message regarding a youthful recollection of Jo Anne Gunter. She and I were almost exactly the same age and grew up in Accomac together. We both began our educational experiences in the same grade at Accomac School in that distant past. We lost lost touch over the years, but in our childhood and teenage years I remember her as a wonderful caring, friend, selfless, helpful and kind beyond description. In the vernacular of the South in my youth she would have been thought of as a Nice Lady. I am absolutely certain that she remained empathetic, helpful and caring to many others in later life; this world is surely a better place because of the time that she spent here. Tom Barber
I worked with JoAnne for 30 years. I was so happy to read about her becoming a part of the Marino family, and being Grammy Jo to your children. What joy you must have brought to her, and she must have brought to you.
Meg, JoAnne spoke of you and Chip often. I am praying for God to comfort you in the loss of your sister. She was a very kind and positive person.
Years ago I had the pleasure of working with Jo Anne when we worked for Div. of Social Services. I am sorry to read that she has passed away.
So sorry to read about Joanne what a sweet persons prays to all the family.
