Jo Carter Bewley

Born in Douglas, GA, Jo was preceded in deaths by her parents Willie Mae Brown and William T. Mc. Donald of Macon, GA. Jo is survived by her husband, Bob Bewley, of Houston having been married 28 years. She is also survived by her six children, John Carter and wife Allison of Raeford, NC, Gary Carter and wife Nancy, of Cumming, GA, Cheryl Satterfield and husband John of Gainesville, GA, Jodie Lewallen and husband Ronnie, of Lula, GA, Susan Miller of Dawsonville, GA, and Scott Carter and wife Joni, of Sylva, NC. She leaves a Godly heritage to 15 grandchildren and 3 greatgrandchildren that were so precious to her.

Jo grew up in Savannah and. Macon, GA. She obtained a BA from Mercer Univ. and a MEd and a Specialist in Ed from the Univ. of Georgia. She started a lifetime of world travels to 54 countries when she was
hired in 1975 by ARAMCO in Saudi Arabia to implement a Gifted Program for the company's schools, a
country and company that she so enjoyed to its fullest. Jo and Bob met square dancing at the Aramco
Dhahran Square Dancing club in 1979. Married in 1982, they lived in Houston where Jo taught for HISD
at Tijerina, Wilson and Pleasantville schools.

After retiring from her love of teaching, she continued her travels to visit Christian missionaries the
world over. Her love for missionaries started at an early age and only grew as she grew older. After Bob and Jo were introduced to the Micah Project, of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in 2000, she fell in love with the Micah Boys and all things Micah. In 2008, she started the Grupa Mama Jo to teach the single mothers of the Micah Boys how to sew and make a living with their new found skills. This ministry is flourishing and growing after Jo's initial vision and startup.

Jo and Bob are members of Pine Valley Bible Church serving on the Missions Committee. Jo and Bob were
also founding firemen in the Pecan Grove Volunteer Fire Department in Richmond, TX. Jo so loved her Lord from the time she was saved at 8 years of age.

She was an inspiration to many throughout her battle with cancer. She handled the cancer journey with dignity and grace. Bob and the family wishes to thank Dr. Garrett Lynch and his staff, Carol and Cristina for their dedicated and compassionate care. Also, the staff of Methodist Hospital Main 8 NW and the CAGT Unit could not have been more professional and caring. Houston Hospice has been so comforting the past few weeks.

Jo's Celebration of Life will be held at Bethel Church, 825 Bering, Houston at 7 PM on Tuesday, November 2. A visitation from 5-7 PM will precede the Celebration. In lieu of flowers, Jo requested that a remembrance be made to the Micah Project, Inc. P.O. Box 12788, Houston, TX 77206-2788, Attn. Micah 2 Campaign to help build a new home for her Micah Boys. The family also thanks all our friends who have supported us so much during this journey.
