Jo Ann Lundgren, aged 90, of Newtown, PA, formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away peacefully on Oct. 27, 2023 at St. Mary’s Medical Center, Langhorne, PA after a brief illness.

Jo Ann was a graduate of Wilmington High school and Goldey-Beacom College. She was a homemaker while starting her family. She then began a full-time career as a bookkeeper for several Wilmington law firms and other professional firms until her retirement in 2006 at age 72. She then relocated to Newtown, PA to be near her granddaughters.

She was predeceased by her parents, John and Sarah Van Sant, her husband of 61 years Carl (2014), her brother John (2017), and middle son Mark (2022). She is survived by her eldest son Jay (Barbara Broge) of Hockessin, DE and youngest son Todd (Mary Jane) of Newtown, PA, and their daughters, Jo Ann’s beloved granddaughters, Sarah and Jennifer of San Diego, CA.

A Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date. Interment will be private.

    Even though we didn’t see each other as often as we would have liked since she moved to PA, we always kept in touch by text and phone. She was a joy to know and always made me smile. I will cherish her friendship forever. Love you my very good friend and will miss you so very much. Rest in peace now you are reunited with your beloved husband and son. 🙏🙏

    She was a great mom. She always had our backs and was connected at the hip with her two granddaughters Sarah and Jen. We will miss her greatly!

    I knew "Aunt" Jo Ann thru my husband Gene Karlik and his family. From the moment we met we bonded. I loved her wit and her no filter. Her family meant the world to her. She was a bright spot in my life and I will miss her dearly. I will miss our talks and so much laughter. Love and hugs to family and friends. ❤️

    I met Jo Ann while getting coffee. She was so sweet and friendly that we soon became very good friends. I will miss her friendship very much. She was so much fun, witty and full of good advice. Jo Ann was a delightful lady to be around. I loved hearing all of her stories, especially about her lovely granddaughters. She was so proud of them. Jo Ann was a treasure. I am so thankful for her friendship. Sending my condolences to her family.❤️

    She will always be “my Aunt Jo Ann” even though we really weren’t related by blood. Aunt Jo Ann was always so outgoing and caring. Our families were so close that her middle son Mark and I were born a day apart. I wonder how they managed that?? Aunt Jo Ann will be sorely missed by many people. I’ll never forget her and her infectious laugh! My thoughts and love go out to her family.
