Hailing from Toulouse, France, Marie Jo was a loving mother of two, Melanie and Thomas, and an amazing wife to her husband, Christos. She was known for being extremely friendly and kind to friends and strangers alike. Armed with her remarkable knack for languages (she spoke 6 of them) and a warm smile, she was able to communicate with and befriend practically anyone she came across. She loved to sing, dance, travel, paint, and most of all, laugh.
