Jo Ann was born on July 19. 1936 in Woodbury County, Sioux City, Iowa to the late Dale M. and Josephine M. Ard. 2;, From a young age, Jo Ann demonstrated a vivacious personality, and singular sense of style. Her sense of humor, and outgoing attitude often made her the belie of the ball. With a sense of adventure, Jo Ann made the move from Sioux City, Iowa to San Diego, California where she met Raymond V. Stueve, the love of her life. They were married on June 20, 1964 in San Diego, California. Jo Ann was a loyal and loving daughter, sister, wife, aunt, and friend. Over 30 years ago, Jo Ann left a promising career with New York Life Insurance Company to accompany Ray to Sedona, Arizona to establish a family operated commercial and residential painting business. Through all the ups and downs of the intervening years, Jo Ann remained a dedicated partner and motivating force in their, personal and professional lives. Until her final illness, Jo Ann continued as an active presence within the community; the friendships she made were life long. She made a lasting impression on all who knew her and will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love. Jo Ann is survived by her husband, Raymond V Stueve; a sister, Martha C. Mackey (Ronald) of Glendale, Arizona; a sister, Lucille M. VanValkingburg (Harland) of Sioux City, Iowa; a brother, Dennis Ard (Carol) of Sioux City, Iowa; a brother, David M Ard (Darlene) of Port Charlotte, Florida and a brother, E Michael Ard (MaryJo) of Tucson, Arizona. She is further survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a brother, Timothy D. Ard. 12 illegal immigrants arrested luneC°mputerboarddUbmeetingh'°lds but smuggler flees into desert On May 19, at approxi- mately 12:30 p.m., a Yavapai County Sheriff's Office deputy conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 17, milepost 260, regarding a vehicle registra- tion and equipment violation. The vehicle involved was a Nissan pickup truck with a fully enclosed truck bed cover. When the deputy contacted the driver, he noticed six addi- tional occupants crammed inside the cab of the truck. The driver indicated he did not speak English well and was unlicensed. None of the other occupants acknowledged the presence of the deputy. The driver was questioned • further while standing along- side the sheriff's vehicle. He identified himself as 21-year- old Francisco Mateo-Sanchez and indicated he was heading to Flagstaff. Sanchez possessed no paperwork to verify the given name. With another deputy present, the handling deputy approached the truck to check underneath the bed cover for additional passengers. As the deputy began lifting the bed cover, the driver suddenly darted across north- bound lanes of I-17, continued across southbound lanes, and into the desert out of sight. An assisting deputy was prevented from chasing the driver due to oncoming truck traffic. - After lifting the bed cover, deputies found six additional passengers lying head to toe in the truck's cargo bed. ,The cover had been propped open with a couple of bricks and had a belt affixed to the opening mecha- nism so the cover could be held down. Deputies contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers who conducted phone interviews and determined all the occupants were illegal aliens and autho- rized immigration holds. All 12 subjects were detained and transported to the Yavapai County Detention Center in Camp Verde pending transfer to ICE custody. The vehicle was impounded with intent to file for law enforcement seizure. During a follow-up investiga- tion, deputies learned that three of the subjects were juveniles and three subjects called Brazil their home country, deciding to enter the U.S. at the Mexico border. The driver who fled was not located. Contact YCSO at (928) 771-3260.
