Her husband Mohammed Samak has been charged with murder and is due to appear at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court today.
The 42-year-old is a former Egyptian international hockey player and grammar school hockey coach.
His wife, who has a young son, is believed to have run an interior design business from the couple’s home.
Her family said today: “Jo was a loving, sensitive and generous person. She was so hard working and talented. She was looking forward to so much in her life.
“We are so thankful for Jo and have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and tributes from all who knew her.
“Jo, you are so loved by all your family and friends. Words fail us. We will continue to love and miss you forever.”
Police were called to the home at 4.10am where they found Joanne with unsurvivable injuries.
Stunned neighbours told how they woke up to a swarm of police cars on the quiet cul-de-sac.
One said: “We didn’t know them well but I know he was a highly regarded hockey player and had played on a big stage to a high level.
“He also coached kids for Wales, I believe and at a grammar school in Sutton Coldfield.
“She ran her own interior design business and they have a young son together too. It’s all very sad.”
