I have just learned of Jo-Ann’s passing after my Christmas card was returned unposted. I am one of the 80 students that received the Nehr’s scholarship for studies at Princeton for which I am forever grateful to Jo-Ann and Raoul Nehr. Their generosity and commitment to give to those less privileged not only changed the lives of many for the better, it also served as an example of humanity and humility that lives further through people they have touched. I would like to express my sincere condolences to Jo-Ann’s family and friends.

My mother, Lillian Julia Nehr, was related to Jo-Ann's husband, Raoul. Through him, I met Jo-Ann. We visited them in Blairstown, and in their home near Princeton. We communicated via email these last few years. Sadly, I know now why I had not heard from her....Blessings to the family.

I was so sorry to hear of JoAnn's passing. I played bridge with her and as an opponent for many years in Princeton and we always had a good time. She was a very good player and we always chatted while she ate the sandwich she made for lunch while we got to bridge early enough to get a 'good' table. Jo Ann had a fashion flare as well and always looked so put together. I will miss her. Star

Dear relatives and friends of Jo-Ann, I am so sorry I cannot be with you in person to console you and celebrate Jo-Ann’s remarkable life. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the times we were able to spend with her over the last 30 years. Her laugh was infectious; and she had a terrific sense of humor. Most of all, it was clear how deeply committed she was to her family. I will miss her so much. She was a wonderful inspiration for me and set a great example of a life well lived. Love, Annette

I feel so fortunate to have had Jo-Ann in my life. We met she and Raoul 20 years ago when we bought our “retirement” homes in Skillman, nj. We played lots of bridge over those 20 years, For fun and for master points. My most treasured memory of Jo-Ann is when we both were both about to go on trips and discovered at bridge one day that our itineraries overlapped one day in Cambodia .We had tea/wine together at Raffles Hotel there and were in awe that us peeps from Skillman,nj were meeting together on the other side of the earth. Jo-Ann’s physical challenges were many and serious though She never complained and always lived her life to the fullest. RIP Jo-Ann

Lisa and Glenn Pantel - former neighbors left a message on August 23, 2020:
Jo-Ann was a gracious and very special woman.She, along with her husband, warmly welcomed us when we moved to Oak Knoll in Mendham and we enjoyed their neighborly hospitality during their stay here, always feeling very much at home in their house.We recently learned that Jo- Ann struggled with medical issues, but those travails were clearly hidden -- Jo-Ann always had a smile on her face; she never complained to us; she always inquired about us and our families and showed genuine interest in our lives. We were so sorry when she and Raoul left the neighborhood, but were so pleased that Jo-Ann was able to join some of her former Oak Knoll neighbors at Lantern Hill. Her stay there was much too short; her life much too short. Jo-Ann will not be forgotten, and we feel blessed that she brightened our lives.
