US AIR FORCE
The family of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mayo, a US Air Force Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders at the services, LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one.

Elizabeth F. Mayo, better known as Jo, was a sweet 89-year-old, loving, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and Veteran. Jo was a proud Veteran and was in the Air Force from December 1957 – May 1961 and tried to serve her fellow Comrades any way she could. She volunteered at the VA Hospital in Kerrville, TX helping our Veterans enjoy playing bingo & taking them snacks, until she was unable to attend. She volunteered at the Daily Bead Food Bank in Boerne, TX and helped out in the community as well, until she was unable to get out. Jo also sewed patches on vests for our Comrades in the Boerne local VFW Post 688 so they would all match until she could not sew any longer.

Jo was a proud American and was happy to have served her country. The family is now hoping we can now stand proudly for her as she is taken to lay alongside of those other great men and women who proudly served their country and now unite together in the hallowed grounds of Fort Sam National Cemetery.
