Bonham, Texas -- Eva Jo Ransom, better known as JoJo, aged 76, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2025, in Bonham, Texas, after battling a lengthy illness for many years. She was born under Texas skies in Childress on March 7, 1949, to Jack Junior Ransom and Mary Jo (Jones) Ransom.

JoJo graduated from James A. Madison High School in San Diego, California and was excited to be a member of the Madison Drill team.  Her thirst for knowledge and love for reading any and all printed literature led her to become a proud member of the Mensa Society.

JoJo had a big heart and a personality to match. If you met her you were not likely to forget her.  She had a love for collecting frogs and butterflies and found joy in nurturing her expansive frog garden, which was lovingly bordered by a quaint white picket fence. During Christmas,  JoJo’s yard would shine brightly, captivating all with its beauty, while lighting up the neighborhood.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home in Bonham, TX, beginning at 2:00 p.m.  Pastor Joe Lynn Merrell will preside, and Pastor Mike Allred will assist.

She is survived by her mother Mary Jo Ransom of Bonham, TX, her sister Sonja Ransom of Bonham, TX, her beloved dog Sassy, along with numerous cousins, extended family members, and friends.

JoJo was preceded in death by her father Jack Junior Ransom, maternal grandparents Harley and Bertie Jones, and her paternal grandparents Walter and Eva Ransom.

Forever gone - Forever loved.
