Jolene lived her life fully every day and loved her family; she was an extraordinary Wife, Mom, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend and will be missed by all that knew her.

Jolene is survived by her husband Kurt; her three daughters, Jenna, Tassy and Jett; parents, John and Helen Percevich; her four siblings, Steve, Greg, Mike and Jonna and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and surrogate children that she loves dearly.
