Jo Anne passed away peacefully at the age of 91. She was a strong, independent woman who will be remembered for her love of golf. Gram played golf until she was 81 years old and won many tournaments. Her home course was the Gilroy Golf Course and she was a long time member of the ladies golf club. She was a fierce competitor who was always perfectly dressed for success on the course.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy Ducoty. She is survived by her children: Linda Raggio (Karl) and Jim Ducoty (Michelle). Grandchildren: Karen Raggio Ferriera (Derek), Jeff Raggio(Nancy), Kim Raggio, Jimmy Ducoty, Justin Ducoty and Gueran Ducoty. Great- grandchildren: Mandi Hawkins, Andrea and Alex Ferriera, Sofia Raggio, and great-great-granddaughter Aliya Banuelos.
Many special thanks and much love to Loretta Kelly who was Gram’s angel and our rock for the last 2 ½ years. We don’t know what we would have done without her.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the VNA Hospice of Monterey would be appreciated. (PO Box 2480 Monterey, CA 93942)
A Celebration of Gram’s Life will be held on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2011, at 2:00 P.M. at Johnson Funeral Home, 17720 Monterey St., Morgan Hill.
We ask that everyone wear bright colors in honor of Gram.
