JoAnne “Jo” Lawrence was called home to the Lord on February 9, 2015 at the age of 81. “Jo” was an Oak Harbor resident since 1973. She was born in Port Gamble, WA on January 18, 1934, the second of three daughters born to Ella and Ralph George.
Jo grew up on the Port Gamble S’Kallam Indian Reservation and later moved to Bremerton, WA, where she met the love of her life, Gary Lawrence. Jo and Gary were married in Port Orchard on March 11, 1966 and were happily married for 49 years.
JoAnne was employed at MWR at NAS Whidbey for 23 years. She had a green thumb when it came to plants, especially fuchsia hanging baskets. She especially enjoyed camping, fishing, and boating with family. Jo was an avid Seahawks fan and and loved to watch her family drag race at the race track. She loved her dogs, Skippy and Bobo.
JoAnne is survived by her husband, Gary Lawrence, Sr. at the family home, children Cathy Harvey and wife Robin, son Richard Harvey, Jr., daughter Julie (Todd) Stephenson and son Gary Lawrence, Jr. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Brian (Gabreille) Lawrence, Brittney and Dawn Stephenson, two great grandchildren Urijah and James Lawrence, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews on the Port Gamble S’Kallam Indian Reservation.
