Obituary: Jolene Petersen, 70, The Dalles

Jolene Petersen, age 70, died August 27, 2024, at her home in The Dalles, Oregon. She was born September 8, 1953, to Donald and Marilyn Petersen of The Dalles, Oregon.

Jolene was creative – she loved color – and her sense of humor and imagination were evident to those who knew her. She loved and cared for her family and chose to raise two of her grandchildren from birth. She was a caring and selfless person who always made the best out of what she had.

Jolene is survived by her mother, Marilyn; children, Sarah, and Stephen; six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a third child, Elisia; and a father, Donald.

Jolene will be missed by her many friends and loved ones. A private Celebration of Life with family and friends is unscheduled at this time.
