of Conway, AR
August 26, 1940 - January 2, 2025
Jo Ann (Ms. B) Bezet, 84, of Conway, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on January 2, 2025. She was born on August 26, 1940 in Zachary, Louisiana to James and Josie Morris. Jo Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her late husband, Jack Crissinger; her brother, J.D. Morris and her sister, Dorris Badeaux.
Her life was defined by her deep love for Jesus and her passion for helping others know Him. JoAnn came to faith as a young girl at her home church in Baker, Louisiana. From that moment on, she devoted her life to her family, her faith and serving the local church. She lovingly raised her two sons, Rick and Randy, and for nearly two decades worked at Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, assisting them and many others in ministry. Jo Ann also served as the house mom for the House of Ruth, a home for unwed mothers, where she cared for and impacted the lives of hundreds of young moms and their babies. In 2000, she moved to Conway, Arkansas, where she spent her remaining years splitting her time between Arkansas and Florida. She poured her heart into raising her eight grandchildren and supporting her sons in building their churches.
Jo Ann is survived by her two sons and their spouses, her eight grandchildren and their spouses and her eleven great-grandchildren with more on the way. Her legacy of faith, love and service will continue to inspire generations to come.
Service will be at New Life Church in Conway at 10:00am on January 8, 2025. A Visitation will be at 9:00am.
