Jo Ann Marshall was born on 8 December 1921 in Cloquet, Minnesota. She
graduated from Cloquet High School in 1939 and completed a two-year degree
program at the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 1941. When the United States
entered World War II in 1941, Jo Ann decided to search for a way to aid in the war
effort. After thinking about the Navy, she considered several options before

in Washington, D.C., a job she held from 1942-44.
While working in the nation's capital, Jo Ann met her husband, Lester
Marshall, of Washington, D.C., and they were married in October 1943 in Cloquet. In
