Obituary of Jo Ann Coburn Loyd

Jo Ann Coburn Loyd, 87, of Pasadena, Texas, passed away on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.  

Jo Ann was born in Madison County, Texas on May 6, 1935. She attended Sam Houston high school and was voted most witty.  Jo Ann was a dedicated mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.  She found great pride in being a homemaker and was an avid gardener — she never met a flower she did not like!   Once an empty nester, Jo Ann became an active club member in Pasadena and in the Texas Division United Daughters of the Confederacy holding numerous positions within each club she served.  

Left to cherish Jo Ann’s memory are her children, Pam and son in-law Gary Shankle, Keith and daughter in-law Shellie Loyd, Belinda and son in-law Doug Rogillio.  Grandchildren Tracey and husband Lyndall Baker, Aaron Shankle, Leah and husband Aaron Childs, Allison and husband Charlie Lanier.  Great grandchildren Hailey, Kaley and LT.  Jo Ann is preceded in death by her husband Louis of 69 years, parents Frank and Ola Mae Coburn, brothers Ross, Billy and Thomas.  

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the staff at Vista Nursing & Rehabilitation (Pasadena) that loved and cared for our Mother during her final years.  Thank you.

A family graveside service will be held Tuesday morning, January 10th. Clayton Funeral Home, Pearland Texas is handling the arrangements.
