She was born on September 17, 1953. She grew up in Akron and attended Akron North High School. B.Jo. also attended The Speech and Hearing Institute for the deaf in Columbus, Ohio. She later moved to Kent, Ohio where she resided the rest of her adult life. She had a devote belief in God and firm moral values.
B.Jo. had a great love of all animals and liked to sit with her mother and watch all the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks in their backyard. She especially loved to reminisce about her beloved Siamese, Samantha, and much enjoyed the companionship of the family dog Brandy.
