Jo'an Joyce Cole Angel, 88 of Idamay was welcomed into the arms of the Lord on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 surrounded by her husband Spencer and her children. Jo'an was born in Mannington on February 22, 1933, a daughter of the late George and Thelma Matthews Cole. Graduating from Mannington High School in the class of 1951, she was active in clubs, assemblies and enjoyed singing in the glee club. She was a member of the Mannington Church of Christ.
Somehow, in addition to raising seven children, Jo'an had a career working as a medical assistant with Dr. Frye in Mannington, was a manager of McCrory's Five & Ten in Mannington and the Middletown Mall, and worked several years at Fairmont General. In later years, she relocated to Tampa, Florida with her parents George and Thelma Cole. While in Tampa, she worked as a medical assistant for Dr. Dunsworth and was a manager at Joel & Jerry's department store.
She loved life, her birds and her grandchildren. Regardless of how she felt, she would always greet you with a wonderful smile when you walked through the door. Besides being a dedicated worker for her family, she was also creative. Some of her skills included knitting, crocheting, sewing and making clothes and garments of all types--even hats for some daughters' home economics class. She had a way with plants, growing a variety of beautiful flowers and plant. And talk about a sense of humor! She was everyone's cheerleader and a very compassionate person. It did not matter where a person came from or what their station in life was she would comment about how sorry she felt for those in need.
Jo'an was preceded in death by her parents; brother Dennis Cole; infant granddaughter Amanda Elliott; former husband Donald "Apaw" Elliott; son-in-law Dennis Tomana; stepdaughter Vicky Angel Burnside; niece Jeanie Cole Tintle; special friend Rebecca Roupe, and brother-in-law Robert Foxwell.
