Condolence: Mary Jo played a big part in our lives and we will miss her. John was a student of hers at North Middletown and I became a collegue of hers when we taught together at Bourbon County High School. After we both retired from teaching, we spent time together through Bluegrass Retired Teachers and Central Kentucky West, often traveling together and serving as officers. She was a professional to the hilt and was an enthusiastic educator. She changed many lives--ours included. Our deepest sympathy to her family.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Cross' passing. I had her for shorthand at Bourbon County. She was an amazing teacher. Wishing you all comfort in the coming days.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy in the loss of a coworker,homamaker and friend

Condolence: My deepest sympathy. Mrs. Cross was my favorite high school teacher and it's been almost 40 years. I still remember what a wonderful teacher and woman she was. The carved wooden box she gave me for being her teacher's aide is still a treasured gift. She has a huge impact on my life and many others.

Condolence: With sincere sympathy to the family. Bluegrass Retired Teachers’ Association & KRTA express appreciation for Mary Jo’s leadership and participation in the organizations,
