Jole "Jody" McKinney Parnell

Jole “Jody” McKinney Parnell, 54, loving mother of three and adoring wife to husband Stanley Parnell, passed away to be with the Lord on June 6th 2022. Jody was the most selfless, kindest, loving, down to earth person you could have known. Jody loved summers by her pool, the lake, and the beach. If it had water and a good time you would be sure to find Jody there. If it wasn’t summer, you would find Jody in the Christmas aisle gathering new decor for her famous Christmas party. 

Jody loved her family the most. There was never a moment when Jody was not concerned about what her children and husband needed. Not only was she loving of her own kids but her heart cared for her children’s friends as if they were her own. Jody admired her husband Stanley. She had so much pride in Stanley and considered herself grateful to have picked a good one for 35 years. Jody had her most admired title of grandmother the last 7 months of her life. There was nothing in the world that made her happier than her grandson Lincoln. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide. Although we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Goodbye to a wonderful, beautiful mother and wife. 

Jody is survived by her husband, daughter, son, grandchild, and siblings.
