Jodi Lynn Freeman

Jodi was born June 29, 1976 to James Ed Freeman and Gladys Yount Freeman in Falls Church, VA. At age six, Jodi moved with her mother to Wheatland, WY. There she completed elementary, middle and high schools. After graduation from high school she came to live with her father in Charlotte and attended CPCC and Gardner Webb University.

Jodi worked hard; however, much of her spare time was spent scouring the area for bargains for her passion of interior decorating. When not doing that, she was caring for her dogs (her babies), Lexi, Luca, Chai Ling, Ming Ling and her two ferrets, Barrett and Abby. She had a natural ability for capturing the beauty around her in photographs for which we are truly thankful.

Jodi was one of those fortunate persons with a bubbly personality and bright smile that could light up any room she walked into. She possessed a very passionate personality and a sharp intellect which made her a natural for her job as a Loss Prevention Specialist in retail organizations in Charlotte. Jodi also had an abundant energy that she shared with family and friends that she loved.

Jodi will be greatly missed and always remembered by her family and friends including her dad, James; stepmom, Norma; sisters, Cora (Arnold), Angela and Jennifer; brothers, Jim (Michelle) and Jimmy; nephews, Corey and Conner; her maternal grandmother, Gladys; and her aunts, Sue, Ray and Alice Fay; as well as her cousins, Deana, John, Mark and Stephanie, Juanita, Lorraine, Sonny, Cherrae, Justin, Sophie and Jackie.

A service to celebrate Jodi’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, May 28th in the chapel of Forest Lawn West Funeral Home. Her family will receive friends at the funeral home following the service.

Memorials may be sent to the Humane Society (www.humanesocietyofcharlotte.org), 2700 Toomey Ave., Charlotte, NC 28203.
