Jo Carol Cameron Memorial Garden Complete on American Fidelity Campus
Friday, November 17, 2023
A memorial garden on the grounds of the American Fidelity Home Office to honor civic leader Jo Carol Cameron is complete.
The garden’s purpose is twofold. First, it honors Jo Carol Cameron, wife of American Fidelity co-founder C.B. Cameron. Second, it provides a way to remember Colleagues of American Fidelity who passed away while working with the Company. Stone placards with the names of the Colleagues are visible along the path with a nearby bench for quiet reflection.
Jo Carol Cameron served on the American Fidelity Foundation Board of Directors until her passing in September 2022. She was passionate about serving the community, with a focus on education and the arts. A few of the organizations she served and events she hosted include: the Junior League of Oklahoma City, Renaissance Ball, Beaux Arts Ball, Oklahoma City Art Museum and Mummer’s Theatre and Symphony Orchestra League. She was a founding member of the Annie Oakley Society at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.
A famous Oklahoma City building got its easy-to-remember name courtesy of Jo Carol. While her father-in-law C.W. was president of an investment group that formed Penn Square Investment Company, Ltd., they built a 17-story tower with a mix of retail and office space and needed a name for the building. Jo Carol suggested 50 Penn Place.
