I remember when we all used to go roller skating. We went with Jody several times. It was always a blast being around her. She always had a smile and something funny to say.
When I was looking through the 20 year class reunion book I reflected on what Jody had shared with her fellow classmates prior to her passing:
Occupation: Owner/manager of Candles with Class, Gifts & Crafts
Spouse: Mike McClintock - Trooper/Iowa State Patrol & Technician/Iowa National Guard
Children: Ashley 11 & Samantha 7
I was a stay at home mother/wife after marriage to Mike in 1987. While at home I enjoyed craftwork and candle making. In 1999 I purchased my own craft store. I currently own and operate my business at 2307 5th Ave. So. in Fort Dodge. I have between 18-20 employees on a regular basis. My hobbies also include camping, swimming and spending time with my family. I belong to Prince of Peace church and participate in many school activities with my children.
While I didn't know Jody very well in high school, I did have the opportunity to get to know her prior to her passing. Looks like she had her priorities in order and was very successful in something that started as a hobby and turned into a thriving business! I think of the saying, "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". Jody lived life well and had her priorities in order. A great example for me. Thank you Jody!
