Jolene was the first person that we sat next to in church and we so enjoyed her sweetness, kindness and sense of humor. She will be missed and we pray for her family as they mourn her passing.
My wife and I were blessed we had about 3 years knowing Mama Jo! I would come over and sit down to talk to her and she always had the biggest smile and we laughed a lot together! I would bring over treats from time to time and we would chat! We are going to miss her dearly, but we're lucky to have her as our neighbor! Our hearts go out to Jamie and the rest of the family! Stand tall on that mountain and keep an eye on us Mama Jo!

Detra, May God Bless you and Comfort You! I was saddened to hear about the passing of your Mother. I wanted to reach out to you to let you know I am thinking about you. I remember sharing my high school years at DCHS with you. You were a special friend to me. The picture of your Mother reminds me so much of Aunt Violet.

When we came to Trinity Baptist, Jolene was our first friend. We sat together for four years. She was a wonderful person and she loved her Sunday School class and church. We will miss her Sunday hugs.
