Jolene loved spending time with her family, being at the lake and fishing. When she would visit Eufaula, she loved playing games with her aunt and cousins, Ivonne, Denise and Dennis. She always had such a good sense of humor, was a loving mother and sister and had the most beautiful smile. She loved OU football and we always got together for so many OU games. We will cherish so many great times together. She lived and breathed happiness for her children. Always. I know she was greeted by her daddy along with so many special cousins and aunts all smiling and telling her “Welcome home”.
From her sister’s childhood story -
When we were 5 and 3, Jolene and Sonja tricked neighbors into thinking she had a twin sister, not Val, but Molene. She would run in the house, and we would change her clothes and she would come back outside as her twin sister, Molene. After they kept asking where’s Jolene and 5 or 6 trips to the changing room, lol,..we said Molene left out the back. Hahaha! We also laughed about that a lot. We have so many stories, but not enough time to write them all down. A lifetime of memories we will always cherish.
Words cannot describe the loss we feel here, but we can’t be saddened because we know she is in the arms of our heavenly father.
We will miss you and see you soon our precious angel. We all love you so much!
