Jody C. (Scheid) Kind

Jody was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, “Gigi,” and loved spending time with her three grandsons, Braidin, Chase and Hayden Kind.

Jody enjoyed music, dancing, exercising, cycling and photography, and always thought of traveling as life's university. From the time she was diagnosed with cancer, Jody believed that despite the outcome, she would ultimately be victorious in her cancer battle, as even an earthly loss would place her spending eternity with Jesus Christ, her Savior.
