Ada Jo, or Jo as she was often called, was born in Houston TX on January 26th, 1931 to Velma Roberta and George Colquitt Pritchett. She was the oldest of 3 daughters. Her sisters Shirley and Roselle have preceded her to heaven. Ada Jo lived originally in Garden Oaks before the family moved to the Cypress Area where she attended and graduated from Cy-Fair High School in the class of 1948.
She briefly attended the University of Houston before meeting and marrying the love of her life, Louis J. Cantele. They were wed on June 14th, 1952 and had 3 sons; Louis John (deceased), Marc Pritchett (deceased) and Joseph Christopher.
Ada Jo spent the early years of her married life at Hot Wells, a former resort located in the Cypress area; which was owned by the family.
