Joan “Jo” VanValey Joan “Jo” Va n Va l e y passed away in the home of her eldest daughter on Nov. 14, 2025. All three daughters were with her at the time of her going home to the Lord. Jo enjoyed being active when she could and volunteering in Leisure World. She delivered papers for 10 years in Mutual 4, then after she moved to another location in Leisure World she delivered papers for another eight years in Mutual 10. She enjoyed visiting with residents along her way. She cared deeply for her neighbors and enjoyed giving them a “little something” to brighten their day and maybe put a smile on their faces. Jo is survived by her three daughters and their spouses, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Jo will be laid to rest January 2026, alongside her husband Sonny.
