It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jo Pottle, a cherished member of our community whose passion, talent, and warmth touched the lives of so many. While details regarding services and arrangements will be shared as soon as they become available, we wish to take this moment to honor the extraordinary impact Jo had on all who knew her.
Jo was more than an instructor—she was a mentor, an encourager, and a true friend to those she encountered. Over the years, she shared her talents through children’s classes, where her gentle patience and nurturing spirit inspired young minds to explore their creativity with joy and confidence. Her summer camp sessions became a highlight for countless children, who eagerly looked forward to learning from her each year, and who left not only with new skills but also with treasured memories of laughter and discovery.
Most recently, Jo brought her expertise and passion to adult wire weaving classes, captivating participants with her mastery of the craft and her ability to make even the most intricate techniques feel accessible. Those who attended her classes often spoke not only of what they learned but of how they felt—welcomed, supported, and encouraged by Jo’s genuine kindness and grace. She had a remarkable ability to create spaces where everyone felt valued and inspired.
Her absence will be deeply felt across our community. Jo’s legacy lives on in the many students she taught, the friendships she nurtured, and the countless lives she enriched simply by being herself. She will be remembered for her unwavering generosity, her artistic spirit, and the love she poured into everything she did.
As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate the life of a woman who gave so much to so many. Jo’s influence will continue to ripple through the lives she touched, and we hold her family, friends, and loved ones in our hearts during this difficult time.
When arrangements are finalized, we will share them here so that those who wish to honor Jo’s memory can gather in remembrance. In the meantime, we invite anyone whose life was touched by Jo to reflect on their memories of her and the beauty she brought to the world.
Rest peacefully, Jo Pottle. You will be profoundly missed, but never forgotten.
