Jo was born Feb. 22, 1964, to Harry "Jr." and Marjorie (Laufenberg) Miller in Prairie du Chien, Wis., and raised in McGregor, Iowa.

She remained in Cedar Rapids working as an operator and call center supervisor, where she met and married her husband, Martin McDole, on Nov. 6, 1999. There was nothing more important to Jo than her beloved family and her cats, Misty and Daniel. Her beautiful smile and quick wit will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
Survivors include her husband, Martin of Marion; mother, Linda Miller of McGregor; siblings, Mary (Jon) Abel of Cedar Rapids, Kara (Todd) Larson of McGregor and Tim (Andrea) Miller of McGregor; mother-in-law, Brenda McDole of Marion; sister-in-law, Lynne McDole of Marion; nieces and nephews, Karly, Elli, Nick, Spencer, Brayde, Hunter and Mason: and great-niece and nephew, Ella and Theo.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry "Jr." and Marjorie Miller; maternal and paternal grandparents; and her father-in-law, Lloyd Mcdole.
The family would like to thank the Hiawatha Care Center for the wonderful care that they gave Jo over the last seven years. Your kindness and generosity that was given to Jo and our family will never be forgotten.
Condolences may directed to the family in care of Martin McDole, 935 W. Ninth Ave., Marion, IA 52302.
