At the age of 17, she had everything to live for, including her close and loving family. She left behind her sister, Joni, half-sister, Sandie Lee, half-brother, Cody, and her 18 month old nice, Caileigh, as well as a large extended family of many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandmothers and Grandfathers. In her short time with us, she experienced many adventures that most people do not experience in their lifetime. No matter who you were, young or old, rich or poor; Joline always saw the better side of people. This was confirmed by the presence of people at her wake and funeral.
Local media coverage brought the dangers of drinking and driving more real in the minds of the young people in our area. Her passing made a lasting impression on her cousins and close friends.
Since she has been gone, her family has grown to include a brother-in-law, Derek, and two more nieces, Courtney and Jessica, but their "Auntie" is still included and remembered during holidays and family celebrations (along with her maternal grandfather who passed away on March 31, 1998).
