JoAnn George Braddock passed away peacefully on February 17, 2022 with family at her side.

She was born in Kemper County, MS, the daughter of the late Pauline and Cullen George. JoAnn left her family farm in Kemper County, working first in Jackson and then Meridian where she met her late husband, Charles Braddock, Sr.

JoAnn loved the Lord; she loved her church and she loved her children.  She had a strong work ethic; few could outwork her.   She spent much of her career in the automobile business as an office manager/accountant.  When she retired, she loved being able to give more time to her beloved First Baptist Church of Meridian, teaching Sunday School, serving the senior care ministry, WMU, and the funeral meal committee.

She was a devoted mother to her children Tracey and Dwayne Jones, Chuck and Sharlyn Braddock and Andy and Lesli Braddock.  She was JoJo to her five grandchildren, Kayla (David) Mowdy, Hunter Braddock, Bradi (Camryn) Lee, Austin Braddock, and Lillia (Bo) Stephens and her four great grandsons.  She loved to cook, especially for her family and everyone loved to eat at JoJo’s!

In addition to her children and grandchildren, she is survived by her brothers John (Faye) George, Jim (Patti) George and sister-in-law, Mary George.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother Paul George and many friends.

Memorial contributions may be made to First Baptist Church Meridian, missions fund.
