My condolences to Jolenes family. I have fond memories of Jolene from the many years we worked at dear old North High. She always had a smile and was calm and professional when things in the office were hectic. She enjoyed getting in on a prank or two with some of the staff. (You know who you are). She was devoted to her family, and I know her passing leaves a huge hole in the lives of those who loved her.

She was quite the lady. She was kind, caring and meant what she said. If I was late on getting my grades in, I would get a friendly reminder. She was respected by all and will be missed.
