Anyone who came in contact with Joleane, was touched by her vibrant spirit. She had a way of forcing you to dig deep in your soul, and find compassion and forgiveness. Joleane enjoyed the simple things life has to offer. A free Starbucks coffee would make her entire week! The things in life that most of us take for granted, were always on her priority list. She was often accused of looking at life through rose-colored glasses, but that is what made her special! Joleane had a love for animals that was second to none, especially cats. Throughout her life, many cats just "showed up" at the door waiting for her love and attention. She always made sure they were well taken care of. Joleane was an unselfish individual who gave of herself freely, even at the cost of her own heartache. Joleane will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Sometimes God sends us gifts, and we don't realize them until they are gone. Now is the time for us to thank God for Joleane, the gift He gave us. Goodbye Joleane, we will love and miss you forever!
