Patricia Joan Chace, better known as Jo-Ann, was born December 16, 1934 to Leonard and Goldie Jestes, in Ponca City, Oklahoma. She graduated from Blackwell Oklahoma High School, and married Frank Albert Chace on September 13, 1952 in Huntsville, Arkansas. She went home to be with her Lord and Savior on June 11, 2012. In Ponca City where Jo-Ann was born, there stands a bronze statue of a young, sun-bonneted pioneer mother, protectively leading her son by the hand, striding confidently, head held high, a young woman of sturdy, beauty, and dignity whose eyes are fixed on the far horizon. Courage, determination, and humility are in her face. A bible is in her hand. Jo-Ann was the living example of all that statue represents.
