Jolene Klingaman

A woman with 9 lives left this world last week.

Jolene Klingaman was a fighter. She went from lung cancer to heart disease, to broken bones, pneumonia and a slew of health issues over the past 20 years, but came through them with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye. She finally gave up the fight last week, and died peacefully at hospice care.

Jolene was one in a million. I don’t think I had another friend quite like her. The first time I met her she dramatically fell to the floor in honor of getting to meet “the great Janet Carson”! I wasn’t quite sure how to take that. But over the years, I spent a great deal of time with Jolene, and she always made me laugh.
