Eva Jo Sapp, 68, of Columbia passed away Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, at her home in Columbia with her husband and children at her side.


A remembrance and celebration of her life will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at Firestone Baars Chapel on the Stephens College campus.


Jo was born Feb. 4, 1944, in San Antonio to Herschel Barnhill and Ada Rasdon Barnhill.


She married David Paul Sapp on July 6, 1968, in Columbia.


Jo had three overriding passions — her family, her community and writing. And she had a rare combination of moxie and generosity of spirit that put strangers at ease and secured close friendships for decades.


Her uncanny ability to find the humor in any situation helped to keep life — a terminal condition, as she called it — in perspective. Over her years of living with cancer, she never dignified it with the opportunity to keep her from enjoying life to the fullest.


Survivors include daughter Lesley Jeanne Sapp of Columbia; son Michael David Sapp, wife Masha and granddaughter Jessie Elena Sapp of St. Louis; mother Ada Barnhill; sister Jeanne Barnhill of Corpus Christi, Texas; and brother John Barnhill of Houston, Texas.


Jo was preceded in death by her father, Herschel Barnhill, who passed on Feb. 15, 2005.
