Jocelyn "Jo" Caraway, 92, of Cochran, passed away peacefully at her residence on Monday, January 27, 2025. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Lakeview Baptist Church, 108 Lakeview Church Drive, Cochran, with Rev. Jared Denton and Rev. Scott McMillan officiating. A private burial service will be held at Andersonville National Cemetery.

Jo was born December 30, 1932, to Frederick Charles and Florence Rose King in Watford, England. She moved to the United States in 1966 and worked as a dispatcher for the Houston County Sheriff's Office and then went on to be Chief Billy Hunter's secretary at the Warner Robins Police Department. In her later years, she was a dedicated volunteer at Willing Hands Ministry Center in Cochran. She was a member of Lakeview Baptist Church.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Mandil "Chick" Caraway, and her sister, Pam Colville.

Jo was caring, spunky, and could brighten up any room in an instant. Everyone she met loved hearing her British accent, and she enjoyed sharing parts of her British heritage with her family and friends. She also loved bird watching, crossword puzzles, reading, and spending time with her family.

Survivors include her children, Vanessa Wall (Rodney) of Ellaville, GA, Vivienne Pacella of Cochran, GA, Richard Stephenson of Indianapolis, IN, and Valinda Wilson (Richard) of Perry, GA; eight grandchildren, Joe Stephenson (Andrea), Richie Orem, Martie Orem, Barry Pacella (Alyssa), Mallory Wall, Cierra Neal (Aaron), Jarrod Wall (Lexie), and Sam Stephenson (Callie); 15 great-grandchildren; and a very dear friend, Jimmie Lee Davis of Hawkinsville, GA.

The family will greet friends at 176 Vernon Road, Cochran, GA.
