Born on March 21st, 1948, in Los Angeles to Alice and George Haas, Jo Lynn was known for her wit, wisdom, intense love of family and the ability to create and enhance beauty in everything she touched, from her home and garden to her community. She started her career as a nurse, then attended dental school and wrapped up her career working with a plastic surgeon to rebuild smiles for patients with severe facial injuries or deformities. She found great joy in cooking, gardening at home and with garden clubs, and especially in spending time with her grandkids.

She is survived by John Waller MD, her husband of 58 years, children Christina Angell, Karla Waller and David Waller and five grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held later near Bozeman, Montana. Memorial contributions in her memory may be made to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute
