At the end of the war they moved to Cleveland, and then in 1956 to Munson Township, Chardon, Ohio where Jo was a stay at home Mom, homemaker and volunteer.
Her husband John P. Miller died March 8, 1978 in an industrial explosion while working at Lincoln Electric, Cleveland.
She is survived by her daughter, retired Navy Captain, Janet M. Arnett and her husband, Theodore Arnett, of 24095 Cedar Lake Lane, Lake Villa, IL 60046. Her son, John R.

Jo was an active member of the WAVES National and Women?s Memorial supporter. She was a member of St. Mary?s Church in Chardon.
Jo was one of the founders of the Geauga Community Hospital Volunteers where she worked in the gift shop. She always volunteered for the holidays so others could be with their families. She was an accomplished seamstress and enjoyed walking, cross country skiing, traveling, plays, concerts and lunch with friends. Jo?s Clambakes were an annual event.
Even with all the snow in Chardon, Jo was a grandmother on the go. Her car headed to Boardman where she never missed an athletic or school event of her three grandsons. She especially enjoyed Little League games in Boardman Park.
Jo loved fashion and was known for her large collection of hats, scarves, pins, and earrings. Jo would be one of the first to arrive at the annual Angels of Easter Seal Fashion show with a car full of Chardon friends.
