Jody attended school at Smithville, MS and went to work at a young age. She was employed initially as a Seamstress at Amory Garment. Later, she worked as a Gluer at ER Carpenter in Verona where she retired after many years of service. She was a feisty woman who was a go getter. Jody loved her family dearly and she was blessed with three sons as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She loved God and was of the Baptist faith. Jody’s family meant the world to her, she liked to joke with them and making memories with them. In her free time, she liked to listen to country music like Conway Twitty and Percy Sage. Jody loved to cook for her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Some of her close friends were Lois Ann Mann, Betty King, and Sandra Cavinder.
