Aiko was born on May 24, 1919 in Paia, to Tomokichi & Shimo Miyaji. After attending high school, she met and married the love of her life, Mr. Nobuyuki Jio. Together they raised two children. Mrs. Jio was a lucky lady, finding a gentle and hardworking man who truly doted on her from the time he met her until the day he passed. Their love was celebrated, and admired by those who knew the couple. Barbara stayed home to raise their children, but was also a very active and faithful member of the Faith in Jesus Church community.
In Heaven, Mrs. Jio will join her beloved husband, Mr. Nobuyuki Jio, and their son, Ranceford Jio.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, daughter, Sheri (Randi) Arebaugh; daughter-in-law, Kathleen Jio; grandsons, James “JJ”, Rance “RJ”, Anthony “TJ” (Michelle) Jio & Ryan Arebaugh; 6 great grandchildren & a great-great granddaughter.
