Obituary Jo Ann Story-Vitz’s faith became sight the morning of June 29, 2019 when she took her first step into Glory. Jo Ann, of Kingwood, Texas, was 83 years of age when she lost her courageous battle with cancer. Jo Ann was born on April 09, 1936 in Shelbyville, Texas to Troy Johnson and Nancy Johnson-Sims. She attended college and through that experience was cultivated to be a skilled bookkeeper, which led her to become a club accountant with Kingwood Country Club as well as a regional accountant with ClubCorp. Jo Ann also had a knack for decorating and anyone would need only to step into her home, or experience a party hosted by Jo Ann, to know the passion she felt for this gift. Jo Ann was preceded in death by her parents Troy Johnson and Nancy Johnson-Sims and her oldest brother Johnny Johnson. Jo Ann is survived by her loving husband James Thomas (Todd) Vitz; sons, Ken Story and his wife Debbie, Roger Story and his wife Bonnie, and Marvin Story; brother, Carl Johnson and his wife Janet. Jo Ann was also survived and loved by her grandchildren Chelsea, Jake, Audra, Beth, Johanna, Jessica and Jackie, as well as 7 great grandchildren. Also surviving Jo Ann were her husband’s children; daughter D’Ann Haberman and her husband Ed, and son Brien Vitz and his wife Teresa. Additional survivors include her husband’s grandchildren; Alan, Jennifer, Holly, and Brooklynn, along with his 5 great grandchildren. Jo Ann is also survived by many other family members and friends. In lieu of flowers, Jo Ann’s family would prefer donations go to St. Jude’s Children’s Cancer Center in her memory. Please send memorials to: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. There is also a link on the St. Jude’s site where you can donate online in the memory of Jo Ann.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. The Lord's Prayer Our Father which is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power forever.
