Jolene was born in Anniston Alabama to Chester Huey and Nettie Lee Smith on November 19, 1942. She had a wonderful happy life, enjoying live music, dancing, admiring the outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
In 1966 Jolene and Lewis moved from Alabama to Arizona to continue raising their family in the sunshine they loved so much.
Along with participating in family events, Jolene enjoyed being involved with Red Hat Society, Elk’s and the Moose Lodge. Many long-lasting friendships were made. You couldn’t take her anywhere without running into a friend.
Everybody enjoyed her southern style cooking, from biscuits & gravy, egg (bacon) pancakes to apple strudel and poppyseed roll for the holidays.
Jolene is survived by her children Toni (Dennis) Lamb, Linda (Michael) Goetz, Lewis Taris Jr., Karen (Steve) Glotzer, Matthew (Andrea) Taris, Patricia McGlone, 10 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and brother Kenneth (Linda) Smith.
