She shared a close bond with her sister Lisa and brother-in-law Donnie. Jodi also held a special place in the hearts of her nieces Hayley and Natalie; great-niece and nephew Atticus and Eevee—who will miss their GoGo dearly—as well as NaKayla and Shaylyn. Her cherished friend Danny Martin stood by her side through many seasons of life.

Jodi was known as a great mother and a friend to everyone who knew her. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support left an indelible mark on those around her. She will be remembered not only for the love she gave but for the strength she carried through life’s challenges.

May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
