Their union was blessed with four daughters, Lindsey, Kristy, Merry, and Wendy. The oldest daughter, Lindsey was born with Rett Syndrome so Jodi became the primary care-giver for the nearly 30 years since Lindsey was born.

She loved her family and friends and was loved and admired by those privileged to know her. She will be missed. Jodi was preceded in death by her Mother, Grandparents, and parent’s in-law. She is survived by her husband Rick, daughters Lindsey, Kristy, Merry and Wendy, along with her sisters Lori and Jeri, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and father.
