Jody Summers Obituary
Betty Jo (Jody) Lindsay Summers went to be with her personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 21, 2025. Jody loved her Christ, her family, her church family, and many friends, and her puppies. She was a devoted member of New Life Apostolic Church in Mossy Grove, Tennessee and was active in the Ladies Group.
Jody was born in Robbins, Tennessee on February 13, 1962 and died at home in Wartburg, Tennessee on June 21, 2025 surrounded by family.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 36 years, Richard and their precious children, daughter Sara of Wartburg; son Ben of Henderson, Ky.; sisters Debie (David) Rausch of Mount Juliet, Tn., Patty (Martin) Tanguay of Knoxville, Tn., Samantha (Daniel) Harrison of Allardt, TN.; brother Duke (Jennifer) Lindsay of Thomaston, Ga.; and many nieces and nephews who loved her.
She is preceded in death by her mother, Pernie Mae Lindsay Maner; father Sam Lindsay; sister Karen Lindsay Hamby.
Jody was kind and gentle to everyone she met. She was specifically gifted with and understanding of mathematics. She enjoyed going to church, spending time with family and watching her favorite shows Ranger and Heartland. She will be missed, but we know her spirit lives on in those she touched, and she is singing in the choir of God.
The family will receive friends Wednesday, June 25, 2025 at New Life Apostolic Church from 6:00-8:00 p.m. with the funeral to follow at 8:00 p.m. with Bishop Anthony Pemberton officiating. Graveside services will be Thursday at 11:00 a.m. in the Morgan Memorial Gardens.
