Emma Josie "Jo" Mikesell Weller, born July 12, 1931, in Pocatello, Idaho, returned to the arms of her husband, David Weller, on Sunday, March 16, 2014, surrounded by her family.
She was the daughter of George Willard Mikesell and Emma Phipps Harper Mikesell. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her father married Della Leona Aller. Jo attended schools in Pocatello, Idaho.
She married David Hyrum Weller June 20, 1952, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They lived in Utah for twenty four years. They moved to Idaho Falls in 1976.
Jo will be remembered as someone who loved life and taught us all the value of humor and gratitude. Her love for her family was always at the forefront of her life.

She was loved by all and was called Grandma Jo by the children in the neighborhood.
She is survived by her seven children: Della Miller (Terry), Hyrum Weller (Sherri), Susie Tweeddale (Ed), Wilma Egbert (Mike), Andrew Weller (Stacie), Tamera Mihu (Ron), and Sandra Baker (Doug); 25 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren; her sisters, Wilma and Erma, and brother, Hyrum. She was preceded in death by her husband, David, and her parents.
