Member Spotlight: Juanda “Jo” Sawyer
The ADvantage Point is proud to shine its Member spotlight on Juanda “Jo” Sawyer of Tulsa. She is one of the most charming women you could hope to know. A teacher at heart, she is always ready to share life’s lessons she has learned along the way. Sawyer was highlighted in a story about the ADvantage Program on the July 5 broadcast of OETA’s Oklahoma News Report. You can view the interview at http://www.oeta.tv/component/video/2422.html
Sawyer was also featured in the 2011 OKDHS Annual Report and video. You can find links to the report and videos at http://www.okdhs.org/library/rpts/default.htm.
Sawyer was born in Mountain Creek, Okla., which is located between Kellyville and Slick. She says there is actually some contradiction about her age, depending on which document you look at or whom in her family you ask. She explains that when she was born, birth records were kept in the family Bible. When she later applied for a birth certificate the two documents did not agree. So she says, “I was either born in 1933, 1934 or 1935.” A mischievous twinkle appears in her eye when it is suggested that she may just be keeping her true age a secret.
Sawyer comes from a large family with roots in Arkansas and Missouri. Her father was one of 11 siblings, and her mother was one of nine. Sawyer is the oldest of six children - two girls and four boys. All are still alive with the exception of one brother who died as a small child. She reflects about growing up on the farm where she learned to like eating vegetables and how
