She was preceded in death by her parents, Thelma Rosser Howard and Lawrence Sylvester Peters, Sr.; devoted husband, George Harold Wall; beloved son, Charles Lawrence Wall; and brothers, Lawrence Sylvester, Jr., Otis Glenwood, Harry Eldon, James Cleere, Cecil Wray, and Benjamin Leech Peters.

She is survived by two loving daughters, Terri R. Wall of N. Dinwiddie and Georgia A. Wall of Richmond; three beautiful sisters, Thelma E. Brown of N. Dinwiddie, Sadie P. Moore of Chester, and Laura P. Wills of N. Dinwiddie; wonderful sisters-in-law, Vita W. Davenport of Dinwiddie, Irene W. Wilson of Colonial Heights, Barbara Wall of Spring Grove, Doris C.

Born in Prince George, Jo Ann was the seventh of ten children and, as a child, often found herself sharing her bed with her youngest sister. The two sisters, along with their oldest sister, would go on to marry their respective husbands, start families, and become next door neighbors for life. While raising her three children, Jo Ann also enjoyed crocheting, bowling, and pitching horseshoes - the latter of which, she rarely lost a game. She was an excellent baker, and happily used her skill set to create wedding cakes for many couples. She was also known for selling Avon throughout Dinwiddie County and eventually became a beautician later in life. At the age of 60, she retired after surviving a major health challenge and enjoyed another 23 years as a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend. Jo Ann was a member of West End Baptist Church and Living Stone Baptist Church, both in N. Dinwiddie.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, March 27, at Southlawn Memorial Park in Prince George, VA. A luncheon will follow at the fellowship hall of Living Stone Baptist Church in N. Dinwiddie, VA.
