Jolan Hearrell Obituary

HESPERIA - Born in Gary Indiana Jolan's love story started in a small church in Fontana CA. While listening to the choir she whispered to her cousin "I want him" pointing at a young man singing. He could not resist this girl with sparkling blue eyes and raven hair. When she became ill she was asked where she gets her strength. She looked to her husband of nearly 58 years and said "He is my strength". Ralph was at her side as she battled and won against ovarian cancer 10 years ago. When diagnosed with brain cancer she chose hospice. She spent her last months at home surrounded by those who love her. Every moment was cherished and she often said "I have had a wonderful life and I have no regrets". Her last breath was in her home with Ralph at her side her hand cradled in his. She was 74. Jolan is survived by her husband Ralph, son Richard, daughter Kim, 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Life celebration on July 12, 2014
