Jodi would want people to celebrate her life.

Jodi was born on March 25^th, 1976 in Saint Cloud, where she spent most of her life before eventually moving to Waite Park. She always had a soft spot for animals, especially her cat Jimmy Love, who was her little sidekick and constant comfort.

Jodi was one of a kind. She was funny, honest, stubborn in the best ways, and had the biggest heart. She said exactly what she was thinking, even if it was blunt, but always out of love. If she cared about you, you knew it without a doubt. She had a way of making people feel seen and loved just for being themselves.

She shared an unbreakable bond with her daughter Jenna. They weren’t just mother and daughter — they were best friends who understood each other in a way no one else could. They laughed together, cried together, and leaned on each other through the hardest times. They always found their way back to each other.

Jodi loved the simple things in life — watching The Simpsons and Family Guy, having a good laugh, and enjoying natures medicine. She went through more than you could imagine, but she always found a way to keep going. She was strong, resilient, and never gave up, even when things got hard.

She had her quirks, and they were what made her so uniquely her. If you ever got a text from her, you could count on a bunch of random emojis at the end. She was unpredictable, over the top, and full of love — the kind of person who made life brighter just by being around.

Jodi will be remembered for her strength, her humor, her honesty, and the love she gave so freely. She was beautifully imperfect and completely unforgettable.

She will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Jodi is survived by her mother, Judy; daughter, Jenna; brothers, Wayne and Brian; nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Joe.
