Jo Ann Razor

December 8, 1927 - January 8, 2021

Jo Ann Razor of Springboro passed away peacefully Friday January 8 at the age of 93. She was born December 8, 1927 in Dayton, Ohio to the late Ward and Bessie (Taylor) McDorman. JoAnn was a 1945 graduate of Enon High School. She continued her education at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. JoAnn married Randy Razor April 3. 1946. They were married 29 years at the time of his passing in 1974.JoAnn and Randy had a fun and adventurous life. They loved to travel which included many trips to Florida, New York City and Hawaii. They were avid card players and enjoyed playing bridge the most. Before choosing to stay home and raise her family, JoAnn worked at Ohio Bell. Then returned to the workplace, having worked at McCoy’s Appliances and Metropolitan Clothing Company. JoAnn was able to finish her career and retired from the Metropolitan Insurance Company in 1987. She remained active for many years volunteering at a variety of places, but was most fond of her time with St Elizabeth Hospital. JoAnn developed many lasting friendships through the years which continue to this day. Grade school friends from over 85 years ago, work relationships from Ohio Bell and Metropolitan Insurance Co. JoAnn had many hobbies and interests to include knitting, crocheting, quilting, puzzles, card playing and of course bridge. But there was nothing that she enjoyed more than sewing. From curtains, slip covers, bedspreads, alterations and clothing. JoAnn even once made the dresses for an entire wedding party, including the bridal dress. While a resident in Enon from 1953 to 1965, JoAnn was an active member of Knob Prairie United Church of Christ. She continued her spiritual walk with Normandy United Methodist Church and Polk Grove United Church of Christ in Vandalia. The retirement years treated JoAnn well. She made many friends at the Vandalia Senior Citizen Center. Out of these relationships she was able to enjoy over 20 years of winter living in Florida. Then there were the years at 10 Wilmington Place that continued the card playing, bingo, arts and crafts and many fieldtrips. Even when life took an unexpected turn when JoAnn suffered a stroke she was required to move to Otterbein Skilled Senior Care facility in Springboro where she won the hearts of all. The family is so grateful for the love and care JoJo ( as they so affectionately renamed her) received from the staff and caregivers (and eventfully- friends) with Otterbein. And at the end, the attentive care given by Crossroads Hospice of Cincinnati as they nurtured JoJo to the end. JoAnn is survived by her son Alan (Chris) of Vandalia, daughter Barbara ( Tim ) of Centerville. Step grandsons Jonathon (Henrietta) Cautin and Matthew (Jenna) Cautin, grand dog Cash, nieces June Albert, Donna Jean Day, Ginny Streinbugge and Jackie Hunsaker.
