Jolene loved spending time with her best friend, who was her late husband, Kevin, whether it was fishing or just relaxing at their home. Jolene worked many jobs in her life to support her children. She treasured and cherished the memories she made with each and everyone of her friends, and made a lasting impression on anybody who knew her.
