We have been blessed to have known and loved a beautiful soul. Jo Anne (Hiatt) Marckel passed away Saturday, September 7 at 4:15pm with her loving husband and all of her children and their spouses and some of her many grandchildren by her side. Jo Anne was born in Toledo, Ohio on October 15, 1935. She was 83 years old.

Jo Anne is survived by her soul-mate and devoted husband, Roger, as they shared 64 blessed years together, her loving children, Dennis (Lori) Marckel, Deb (Randy) Mangolt, Diane (Philip) Smith, David (Linda) Marckel, Donna (Dave) Garrett, and her grandchildren, Justin (Andrea) Marckel, Steven Lewandowski, Amy (Jeff) Parker, Abby (Joey) Johnson, Anna Davis, Molly (Zach) White, Nick Marckel, Zach Garrett, Matt Garrett and 11 great-grandchildren that kept her going. She was "GG" to Cohen, Elliana, Judah, Emerson, Caden, Devin, Vance, Kinsey, Corbin, Henry, and Tripp.

It has been said that if you cant get along with Jo Anne, you cant get along with anyone. Jo Anne never met a stranger. She made you feel like you were the only one in the room. This was her special gift. Jo Anne loved and was loved by all that met her.
