On Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Loving wife of the late Donald Sahrhage. Beloved mother of Marilyn (William) Robben, Karen (Scott) Luthy, John (Melissa) and Mark (Miranda) Sahrhage. Cherished grandmother of Kristin, Emily, Melanie, Sasha, Jake, Riley, Jack, Austin and Kamryn. Great grandmother of Owen, Adelyn, Mason and Hayes. Dear sister of Gloria Frazier. Our dear sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved mother, grandma, great grandma, sister, and teacher who left a mark on the lives of those who knew her. After a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and learning, she passed away peacefully, surrounded by her cherished family.
For over 30 years, she dedicated herself as a science teacher, inspiring countless young minds.
She was an avid camper and lover of the great outdoors and she found joy in sharing the simple beauty of the world with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Whether enjoying a book by the river or sitting by a campfire under a starlit sky, she always embraced the peace and quiet. Her backyard was a testament to her love of flowers—each bloom carefully tended, a reflection of her nurturing spirit.
Above all, she was a devoted wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, and sister, whose warmth and kindness was felt in every hug, every encouraging word, and every shared moment. Her family was her heart, and her love knew no bounds.
She will be dearly missed but lovingly remembered by her children, sibling, and all those whose lives she touched. Her legacy of love, dedication, and adventure will continue to bloom in the hearts of her family and friends.🌻

To The Family of Jo Ann,
I only knew her a short time as I took her communion from time to time. She was very pleasant to visit with and always spoke of her family in the highest regard.
I always prayed for her to have the Lord’s peace and from I could tell she had it every time I stopped in to visit her. I hope you all are comforted by the fact that Jo Ann knew the Lord and will live on eternally with Him.
God’s Peace to You,
