Sharon and Beau, I am saddened to learn of your mom’s passing. May God be with you! Love, Gloria
Jonell was one of a kind! I will miss her laugh and her style. Boy, how she sparkled! God will have fun with this angel in heaven. Sending hugs and love to Sharon and the family.
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family during these difficult days ahead. ((Hugs))
Aunt Jonell always made life more interesting. She will be missed on earth, but her light is shining in a better place.
This is Betty Thomas Marjie Green niece I know Jonell for awhile now and I love her very much I am truly going to miss her very much she truly knew her Bible and we discuss many Bible verses Rest In Peace Jonell soon the resurrection is around the corner
We can’t imagine a family gathering without Jonell. We will always remember Jonell and Arnold’s visits to Gatesville on weekends and holidays.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed knowing your mom. I moved to Waco to care for my mother and met Jonelle through Angie. Those two introduced me to the world of country western dancing. Your mom and I sat together at Sol Ross for quite a long time. We had great times.
Jonelle could have been a model. Such a flair for dressing. She was one elegant lady.
I am now living in AR. So sorry I didn’t know she had died. I will always remember her with great fondness.
