Jo Ann Coulborn's Obituary
Jo Ann Coulborn, age 64 of Seaford, DE, passed away on Friday, August 25, 2017, at her home. She was born in Seaford on Monday, August 10, 1953, daughter of the late John A. and Doris E. (Littleton) Morris.
Born and raised in Seaford, Jo spent most of her 64 years there. A woman with a strong work ethic, her most recent years were spent working at Johnny Janosik in Laurel, DE. Prior to her employment there, she dedicated 20 years at Hecht's/Macy's department stores in Salisbury, MD. In addition, Jo spent many years with Safeway. Jo loved gardening and tinkering around her yard. She was an amazing cook and was known for her food by both her family and co-workers. On many occasions, Jo said her greatest accomplishments were her children. She was always sharing stories and her home was a giant camera, filled with photos of her beloved family. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.
Depression is a silent killer. Many people can mask their demons with a simple smile and can tell everyone they are fine, when in reality they are not. Our mother was deeply loved, and she will be greatly missed.
In addition to her parents, Jo was preceded in death by her daughter, Maureen Allison, formerly of US Virgin Islands. She is survived by her husband of 25 years, Charles "Chuck" Coulborn of Seaford, DE; her daughters: Kimberly Allison of Seaford, DE and Kristen Allison-Dzwonek and her husband Jesiah of Los Angeles, CA; her grandchildren: Brian Lane Jr., Cassie Lane, and Zachary Flynn; her great-grandson, Kayden; her brother, John Morris and his wife Stacey of Laurel, DE; and her beagles that were like children to her: Bubba, Smokey, and Boomer.
