Jody was born in Louisville, Kentucky on May 6, 1966. As a young child and daughter of a career soldier she traveled throughout Europe and the US. Her family eventually settled in Hephzibah, Georgia where she attended A. R. Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet School and graduated with honors from MCG School of Nursing. Jody was a caring nurse for MCG-AU Health for over 30 years and worked in multiple areas to include the ICU, Nurse Recruitment, and the Adult Vascular Access team.
Jody cherished her family and pets. Her greatest joy was the birth of her daughter Alexis and raising her to be a strong and independent woman. Jody loved going to the beach, gardening and spending time with her beloved pets Gigi and Bella.
Jody is preceded in death by her father, Howard “Bernie” Crank.
She is survived by her daughter, Alexis Kenny (Ashton); mother, Charlene Crank; sister, Wendy Crank; nephew, Logan; and niece, Skylar, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
