Publish in a newspaper

Jodi Lynn Drenner, 59, passed peacefully on 11/13/2025 in Springfield, MO with her sister by her side.
Jodi was born December 11, 1965 in Shenandoah, Iowa, and is 1 of 5 children. Although she moved around frequently, the Midwest was always what she called home. While her Military service was brief she found a home with Veterans and enjoyed volunteering with the Honor Guard. In her later years she enjoyed learning as many new creative hobbies as she could, including crochet, diamond art, and painting. But that all came second to her favorite hobby, reading. She was a very creative storyteller and lived to make people smile and laugh.
She is preceded in death by her Grandmother Annie Reed; her Mother, Janice Lane; Aunt Margaret Stewart and Granddaughter Jordan. She is survived by; her father, Jim Kalkas; Sister, Jeanne Fanning and husband Steve Fanning, Brother and Sister-in-Law Randy and Julie Drenner; Brother, Jim Drenner; Brother and Sister-in-law Eric and Naomi Drenner. Her Daughters Melissa Frazier; Brenda Wlodarczyk; and Laura Morgan as well as their children and spouses; 5 Nephews; 8 Nieces; as well as several Great Grand Nephews and Nieces.
The memorial service will take place at 8:00 am on Tuesday November 18, 2025 at Greenlawn Funeral Home South, located at 441 West Battlefield in Springfield, MO 65807.
