    Definitely a shining light! JoDee was a prime example of what our Lord desires for us to be. She loved all people and it showed. She was a leader, a helper, and a beautiful, kind-hearted person. She definitely left her mark on everyone she met. I was blessed with JoDee's friendship while we attended AHHS. She later friended me on Facebook and would send birthday wishes and share loving comments on my family posts, keeping in touch. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.🙏🏼❤️

    My dear, sweet Girl, JoDee- Words do not begin to tell the friend you were to me. For so many years, 57 all told, your friendship to me was precious as gold. Your horses, your talent, the poetry you wrote. I think of it all now, with a lump in my throat. Your spirit was strong, magnetic and true. Attracting everyone you met closer to you. Your love, for the Lord was an example for all. You followed his word, and heeded His call. Throughout your life, you set a high bar, a shining example that nothing could mar. The Lord called you Home for your place by his side. But the space you left here is gaping and wide. I grieve my loss of you, I am so sad for me. I will miss your sweet smile, my dear friend, JoDee. Love, Elizabeth Washburn
