Mary Josephine “Jo” Wyche Beasley, 90, of Ringgold, passed away on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at a local hospital.

Jo was a native of Rossville and a 1951 graduate of Rossville High School. She was a resident of Ringgold since 1978, where she and her husband, Paul, built their house together. Jo was an employee of Moore and King Pharmacy and retired from Duff Brothers Pharmaceuticals. She later worked for Tennessee-Georgia Memorial Park in Rossville. Jo had a wonderful sense of humor and a heart full of love and compassion. She enjoyed her weekly trips to the hair salon and watching classic movies. Jo also enjoyed “road trips” with her husband, seeing the country and her trips to Florida with her nephews. She will be dearly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Beasley; parents, Jack and Ruth Wyche; brothers, Billy and Jackie Wyche; sister, Betty Bowman; and niece, Jeanie Bowman.

Survivors include her nephew, Gregory “Greg” Wyche and nephew-in-law, Stephen McKinley, both of Soddy Daisy.
