Josephine "Jo" Nail
December 3, 1924 - January 12, 2016
Josephine ''Jo'' Hoppe Nail, 91, finished her journey through this life, Tuesday January 12, 2016 in Amarillo.

Jo was born on December 3, 1924 in Lamar, CO to Herman and Mary Rose Greenwood Hoppe.
Jo had many passions in life; she was a joy to be around and truly never met a stranger. Most of all she loved her family, she loved to dance, she loved to garden and could grow anything, and she loved to travel. Jo was proud of her Cherokee heritage and was quick to defend it. She thought of and treated life as an adventure and boy, did she have some! She will be missed by all who knew her and love her. You can rest now Aunt Jo.
Jo was preceded in death by her parents, Herman and Mary, husband Max Nail, brother Herman (Sonny) Hoppe, and sister Ethel McMillan.
Aunt Jo is survived by daughter Shannon Head of Rogers, AR; three grandchildren, Kaylee Berko, Ethen Berko, and Ian Berko, all of Washington; sisters, Louise Green of Fritch, Jackie Archer of Stinnett; sister-in-law Mary Ann Hoppe of Rogers, AR; nephew David Sly and wife, Mary of Fritch, and many more loving nieces and nephews as well as her loving companion and dance partner Harlace Nelson of Amarillo, and countless friends from Costa Rica to Alaska!
