Elden Swanson says
So sorry to hear of the passing away of such a sweet lady, and friend, who always greeted you with her patented smile. Bruce Post and I were great friends previous to JoLene and Bruce starting to date. Bruce always told me JoLene was the greatest Lady, loved their nice home, treated him fine, was honest, caring, and love cooking great meals. Last times seeing her smile and short little visits and maybe a hug was my last year driving truck for Dave Cohrs hauling sweet corn to Seneca Foods JoLene was bagging ear corn to test and I was weighing in my load Well Jolene RIP you will be missed by myself and many others here Thanks for the friendship we shared! AMEN
