Joetta "Jo" Smith Jaeger

Joetta "Jo" Smith Jaeger was called to Heaven suddenly while in her home on November 12, 2018. She was 63 years young. Jo was born in Oak Park, IL to the late Hubert "Herb" and Elizabeth Smith. After growing up in Illinois, she married young, joined the medical field and began a family. She moved to Marietta, GA in 1990 with her former spouse and 3 children. While living in Georgia, Jo traded in her medical gloves for a calculator and transitioned into the world of accounting. Jo loved her children and grandchildren more than anything in the world. It made her heart so happy to spend time with her family. She also enjoyed talking to her friends and family, reading, traveling and spending her Sundays cheering on the Chicago Bears. Even though Jo spent over 28 years living in Atlanta, her heart was always in her hometown of Chicago, IL. Jo will forever be remembered for her bubbly personality and warm hugs. There wasn't a person she wouldn't talk to and truly loved being around people and helping others. Jo was preceded in death by her father Herb Smith and her mother Elizabeth Smith. Jo is remembered with love by her daughter Gail Fuller (husband Scott) and her sons Tom Jaeger (wife Kim) and Chris Jaeger; her wonderful grandchildren; her brother Tom Smith; and her sisters Peggy Snyder and Susan Smith.
