Summary

Josephine “Jo” Warren was a keeper of lists and her daughter, Jill Kohler, honored her by creating a special list of her own in the eulogy she lovingly wrote for her mom. In addition to making lists, organizing closets and alphabetizing the family pantry, Jo also loved to have fun, try new things and kick up her heels as a feather boa-wearing member of the Omaha Dancing Grannies. She was also brilliant at casting a wide net to gather special people around her. Jo Warren: keeper of lists, organizer of closets, dancer of the dance and caster of nets - a special person indeed.
