Over the course of their life together Chuck and Jolene enjoyed traveling, sailing, and flying (since Chuck was a pilot) to many places, and they experienced many other great adventures together. She moved back to Enid in 2016 after Chuck’s death, where she reconnected with many friends and family.
Jolene was preceded in death by both parents, Elva and Jake Koehn, one brother, Melvin, four sisters, Obera, Elvera, Bertie, and Belva, and her husband, Chuck. She is survived by 14 nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and nephews, along with many friends. She will be greatly missed.
