Violet JoAnn "Jo" Schremp of Rockwall, TX, passed away November 9, 2013, at the age of 75.  She was born June 23, 1938 in Des Arc, Mo, the daughter of the Late Roy Elmer and Violet Viola (Gaston) Billedo.  In addition to her parents, Jo was preceded in death by a brother, Thomas Billedo, and sisters, Janice Decker and Lynn Billedo.  She was a member of Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall.  Jo graduated from Ste.

Upon discharge from the service, Jo and Clyde moved to southern California.  After seven years they moved back to Missouri for six months, then moved to Texas where they lived thereafter.  Jo was at every run to support her husband, and worked part-time throughout the years at Texas Instuments and LaPetite, in Colorado.  She was also a volunteer at the Space Center in Houston, TX.  Her husband retired, after 25 years from Boeing (United Space Alliance) in Houston in 1997.  They then moved to Rockwall, TX, to spend time with family.  Jo enjoyed traveling with her husband and reading suspense novels.  Almost all activities of her life were with her husband, where they traveled almost all 50 states.  Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, and Missouri were their favorites to visit.  Jo's journey has ended, but her story continues.
