Obituary of Jo Ann Price

Jo Price passed away March 12, 2024, after a long struggle with cancer.  Jo Price was born January 14, 1948, the first of three children born to Doyle and Delores Williams Mansur.  The family spent their first 25 years living in Boise’s NW end.  Jo attended Whittier Elementary, North Junior High and Boise High School, graduating in 1966.  In March 1973, Jo met Phil Price (from Pocatello, Idaho), and they were married on January 24, 1976 in Boise, Idaho.

Jo and Phil purchased a home in SW Boise in 1976 and lived there for nearly 50 years.  While there, they tried their hands at raising racehorses, including two that ran at Les Bois Park.  Some of our best times were at the track over the years.

Phil and Jo were avid Boise State fans, holding season football tickets for 40+ years.  Over the years, they also attended many away games, including three Fiesta Bowls, two Georgia games, a couple Washington games, and at Oregon, Oregon State, Oklahoma State and when they were in the Big Sky, they made a few trips to Montana.  Those away trips were fun.  After football games became problematic, they became avid basketball fans.

Phil and Jo took a lot of fun trips during their marriage, including 3 Ocean cruises (Alaska, Panama Canal and Down Under), all with good friends.  They also enjoyed a number of trips to the Oregon Coast and several trips to Hawaii.

Jo is survived by husband, Phil; brother, John Mansur and wife Lou; brother, Jim Mansur; many nephews and nieces; and all her relatives in Eastern Idaho.  She is also survived by many good friends that kept her company during her last illness.  Jo had many friends in her life and we are so grateful for all you have done with and for her over the years.  And a special shout out to a special friend, Matt Bohn.

We would like to thank all the Hospice nurses and crews for your help in these last trying times and a very special thanks to Jayne Njenga.  God bless you all.

Memorial services will be held Friday, March 29, 2024 at 1:00 PM at Summers Funeral Home, 3629 E. Ustick Road, Meridian, ID.
