Joann also lovingly known as “Jo” or “JoJo” Toland, age 58, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 11th, 2024 at her home in Athens, Ohio. She was born February 16th, 1966, in Lubbock, Texas to the late Harold and Norma (McGuire) Holmes.


Joann was a long-time employee of Goodwill Industries where she worked as a Production Specialist. She was a free spirit with an amazing sense of humor whose personality could light up a room. She loved animals, music, and enjoyed collecting jewelry. Her greatest joy though was spending time with her family.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Karen McGuire Thompson and father-in-law, Dale Toland.


A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 18th, 2024, at 4PM at the Lewis & Gillum Funeral Home of Oak Hill with Pastor Bryon Carmon officiating. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. Online condolences may be sent to www.lewisgillum.com.
