Jo Anne Carney Krall Eisenbach, 91, passed away on Sunday, August 3, 2025, in San Angelo, TX. Jo Anne was born on September 12, 1933, to James Monroe Thompson and Mildred Alene Keegan Thompson. She was raised by her grandparents John and Nita Keegan in Sherwood, TX.
She married her first love, John R Carney, in Sherwood, TX, when he came home from the Navy. Shortly after their marriage they moved to McCamey, TX and started their family. Later they moved to San Angelo, TX, where they finished raising their family. She and daddy loved to dance to country music. “Silver Wings” and the “Orange Blossom Special” were a couple of their favorites. That Union sadly ended upon the death of John R in 1980. She later met and married Melvin J. Krall, who became granddaddy to her grandchildren. They all have fond memories of granddad. She met Roy Eisenbach at church in June 2009. They dated for several months and married on March 21, 2009. She gained three new stepsons.
Jo Anne always had the dream of becoming a nurse. That dream came true in 1969 when she graduated from San Angelo Vocational Nursing School. She was second in her class and scored 100 on the State License Exam, which she was very proud of (we were too). In her career, she worked at Shannon Memorial Hospital, Hendrick Medical Center, Park Plaza Nursing Home, and the Infirmary at San Angelo State School. She will be commemorated by the Nurses Honor Guard. What an honor!
Jo Anne is survived by her daughter Dianne Holland and husband Cap of Bronte, TX, her daughter Elaine Catrett of San Angelo, TX, and stepson Mark Krall of Alaska, her grandchildren Brian Scherf, Leslie Stuart, Trey Holland, Tamara Catrett, Jordan Catrett, and Alissa Catrett and numerous great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her special cousin Mary Ann Phillips of CA, step-sister Jerry Valley of OR, and her husband Roy Eisenbach.
She was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, first husband John R Carney, daughter Patricia Gower, son John Rex Carney, and daughter Sherry Sue Carney. She is also preceded in death by her second husband, Melvin J Krall.
The family is truly blessed to have had the support from Enhabit Home Health (Brittney, Raymond, and Kyle), Hospice of San Angelo and her personal caregivers Juana, Liliana, Gloria, Nicole, Stephanie, Melinda, and Dianne Bass.
