Josephine “Jo Bobbie” MacConnell Showley, a consummate hostess and the last surviving founding member of the women’s philanthropy Las Patronas, turned 100 on April 11, celebrating with immediate family members at her home in La Jolla.
MacConnell Showley was born in Chicago and moved to La Jolla as a child. After graduating from The Bishop’s School (class of 1938), she studied theater across the country before returning to San Diego.
She also traveled the world, which provided diverse inspirations for parties. Her family, including son Kellogg Hooker, said she is known for her hospitality, savory meals and elaborate decorations, especially during the holidays.
