Waneda Joy Grimes

Our beloved Juanita Joy “Jo” Grimes passed away peacefully into the arms of the Lord on June 25th, 2023 at the age of 87. She was born in Graff, MO on September 20th, 1935 to Wilbur L. and Alice P. Hutsell. Jo lived in many places throughout her life before settling in New Matamoras, OH. She loved to travel and enjoyed cooking, baking, and crocheting. She also loved to have her house full of her family. She so enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. Jo worked hard in her life, retiring from Ormet Rolling Mill in 2000 and then running the Video Works in New Matamoras for many years, until 2015.
