Jo has been at Falmouth Methodist Church since June 2017, when she moved to Falmouth from Winchmore Hill, North London.
Jo grew up, married Steve and raised 2 beautiful daughters, Catherine and Carolyn, in north London but when their younger daughter came to Falmouth to attend Exeter University at Tremough they fell in love with the town. When they retired, they moved!!
Jo has always been a Methodist. When she was 19, she went to Hamburg for a year on a Methodist organised youth exchange programme. She then went to Weymouth to train as a teacher, a career that lasted 33 years.
Jo is a member of the WI, she is on the Friday Morning Friends coffee morning rota, enjoys walking and exercise classes and loves a coffee in any of Falmouth’s great coffee shops.
