I loved staying weekends at aunty joes riding around in the ole blue duster with my sister and Chris n Kelly , Arron  and Nicky , I had a lot of fun run in around that neighborhood as a child . As a young adult I would run into aunty Joe n uncle don at the bar and she would always buy me n my friends a drink and give me a hundred dollar bill because she thought she missed my birthday that year . I love and miss my aunty Joe                                           BillyRhodes

My dearest Jody Jo, ohh how I miss you!!

I don’t even know where to began....

We spoke every single day for hours on end.. we would hang up and then call each other right back because we forgot why we originally called one another… we laughed, we shared memories, we talked about life and love and everything in between.. you were my mentor, my personal therapist and most of all my firecracker, who made me a stronger, wiser person. I was very fortunate to have been with you the last few weeks of your life, held your hand and made sure you knew how much I loved you and appreciated our friendship. Like you always told me, I was more than just a Daughter in law, I was your Best Friend.. I will forever cherish our conversations and the relationship we shared, the good the bad and the ugly… it made us “US”.. I’m not going to lie, sometimes I loved battling you, it was fun to hear you state facts and know your stuff.. I would get a million voicemails of you proving your point… then we would make up and laugh and you would say “Monica (in Jody’s voice), you are just like me” ending it with a laugh.. feeling bad for Chris, because of our similar traits .. I was so blessed to have had the chance to know that side of Jody!! I miss your voice!!!  Especially now more than ever when I have questions I need answers too.. I miss you and I love you Jody.. always!!! 

Love your DNL and Best Friend,
Monica Villafaña

Auntie Jo I will miss you so much!  You were always my favorite.  I always loved spending time at your house listening to all the bantering between you and Kelly.  Billy, Chris and I would just laugh and laugh.  Thank you for always loving me and loving Payton the way you did.  We will never forget you. I love you!
Love,
Corrie

I knew Jody for the last 24yrs, I will miss her voice almost every night chatting it up with Geraldine. She will be missed by All... Love you Mum 💖 
May you rest 🙏 forever in peace

**In Loving Memory of Muriel “JODY” Halsey**

With heavy hearts and deep love, we share the passing of our beloved grandmother, Muriel "Jody" Halsey. She was more than just a grandmother — she was our truth-teller, and our constant reminder of what it means to speak from the heart.

Jody was a woman who never held back her words. Her honesty was bold, unfiltered, and refreshingly real. You always knew where you stood with her, and that made her love even more powerful. When she said, “I love you,” it wasn’t said lightly — it was said with the full weight of her heart, her soul, and her truth.

What we loved most about Grandma Jody was exactly that — her fearless authenticity. Even when it was a lot to take in, her bluntness often gave us the guidance we didn’t know we needed. She had a way of cutting through the noise and giving us the truth, even when it stung a little. And in that, there was always deep care.

Her presence was strong, her spirit unforgettable, and her love — unwavering. We will forever carry her words, her strength, and her fierce love with us. She leaves behind a family that adores her and friends who will never forget the remarkable woman she was.

We love you, Grandma Jody, with all our hearts. Thank you for being unapologetically you — we wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Forever missed. Always remembered.

Not many are able to have 65 years with a parent! I will miss her daily calls and her daily rants, lol. For some that knew her she was the type of person you either love or steer clear of! lol So many never knew that my mom had such a beautiful singing voice, as a child I remember her and my dad singing and dancing together! She was Jody, she was a very unique person. Mom I already miss you, we had our ups and downs but we always had each other, always! New years at midnight will be the hardest time for me, I can’t call you to bring in the new year, so this year will be different, I will be looking up to heaven calling you at the stroke of midnight! Always and forever! Your first born!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We will miss her every single day, her loving niece and nephew, Sheri  and Butch💕🙏🏻

I met Muriel in my dental office. She was a force of nature. Loved her husky voice and personality.  She will be missed.  My condolences to her family and friends.
