    I was amazed at my Aunt Mary Jo’s beautiful basket weaving! I treasure the God’s eye basket she gave me.
    Thank you for hosting our Haynes Family Reunion. Love you! Linda

    Will always cherish the visit to Horn Springs Rd with our boys in the early 80s at the end of our Blue Ridge Pkwy camping. I remember Aunt MaryJo’s dolls that she made.. they were so beautiful and real life looking. She had so much talent in so many areas. Rejoice in her life and find peace in your loss. Love to you all.

    I have known Mary Jo all my life. She was my brownie leader, my Girl Scout leader, and my mentor in so many ways. I worked with her at the Wilson co. Fair. I loved her.

    We sat next to Mary Jo in church for many years until we moved away. We were fortunate to know her and blessed for the time we spent together. We visited her a few times on our trips back to TN and she was always happy to see us and catch up on life. We will miss her
