JoAnn Jordan

JoAnn “Mom” Jordan, 74, joined her Heavenly Father on Sunday, August 18, 2013. She was born on August 31, 1938 to Sam and Winnie Bonno and spent much of her childhood in the Houston area. She married Jay Burroughs and had two daughters, Judi and Jana. In 1973, she married Eddy W. Jordan and they were married for 40 years until the time of her death. JoAnn gained two children, Julie and Jeff, when she and Eddy married. She was known affectionately as MOM by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The “grands” have memories of her being referred to as “twister” by her husband, Paw Jordan. JoAnn spent most of her adult life in the Conroe and Willis areas as a homebuilder, real estate agent, and owner of a stained glass business. She was very active in the Conroe Chapter of Women in Construction in the early 1970’s. She was also the first woman homebuilder in the Conroe area during that time. JoAnn is survived by her husband, Eddy W. Jordan of Willis; brothers Lloyd and Alvin Spann and their families of Houston; children: Judi Lynn Thomas and husband James of Conroe, Jana Likens and husband Donald Wayne of New Waverly, Julie Jordan of Dallas, and Jeffery Jordan of Seattle, WA; four grandchildren: Jaycie Thomas Feller and fiancé Ben Rowland, Jamie Thomas Foster, Jason Thomas and wife Bonnie, and Jacob Thomas and wife Jennifer; seven great-grandchildren: Jordan Lynn Feller, Alexis Laverne Feller, Jalynn Patricia Feller, Alyssa JoAnn Feller (her namesake), Jesse Frazier Foster, Gage Edward Thomas and Jrake Oliver Thomas. Many friends and relatives also survive. Our lives were truly blessed just for having known her. We will miss her dearly.
