Hartland, VT- Jo Ann Hatstat, 75, went to dance with abandon on the streets of heaven early Tuesday morning, July 9th, 2024, at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.

She was born September 21, 1948, in Norway, Maine, the daughter of Joseph A. and Laura M. (Wilson) Hatstat. She grew up mostly in Windsor, VT, attending Windsor schools until high school at St. Mary's in Claremont, NH, graduating in 1966.

Jo worked many jobs, the last being at Split Ball Bearing Timken Aerospace in Lebanon, NH. She was an accomplished genealogist and was a collector of all things 'Star Trek'. Jo loved watching the birds that came to her home when she retired.

Along with her parents, Jo Ann was also predeceased by her older brother, David. Jo is survived by her brother Mark and wife Nancy, brother Edwin, David's wife Jenny Lee, and niece Laura Collins, as well as many other nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will take place at 11am on Thursday, July 18th, 2024, in the St. Francis Cemetery in Windsor, VT.

The family would like to thank the tireless nurses, doctors and support staff at Alice Peck Day hospital who cared for her, along with the wonderful caregivers from Bayada, and especially the dedicated nurses from Hartland Visiting Nurses: Jill and Katie. Their dedication and compassion for their patients is outstanding. The tenderness and sensitivity they showed is something we will never forget.

Knight Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements. Condolences may be expressed in an online guestbook found at www.knightfuneralhomes.com. In lieu of flowers, Jo Ann had requested to consider making a donation to the Alzheimer's Association at www.ALZ.org.
