One of her many achievements was establishing the foundation for Joe's Famous Pizza in Purcell, Oklahoma. She made a great pie!!! Her greatest legacy is the love she leaves behind.

Angel and all - Our hearts go out to you in the loss of Grandma Rhodes. She was such a warm, kind, spirited woman who was so much fun to be with. Although we only had the privilege of knowing her for a few years, she was such a joy. That twinkle in her eyes when she was being mischevious was priceless. Even as she aged her sense of humor came through in so many unexpected ways.
Many thanks to you for allowing us to share time together with her. We always looked forward to seeing her. She enriched our lives with her love of life. She will be sorely missed.
You're in our hearts and prayers, and we're sending hugs you're way.
Love Judi and Bob

Ray,
I am sorry to hear of Jeanne's passing. So many memories of my childhood revolve around the times when your mother was around and making everybody happy. She truly cared for others, especially the young people that were always around. You are right: she really knew how to make a great pizza pie! I will never forget the good times we had at the pizza place. You and Bettye and the family are in my thoughts.

I was saddened to hear of Jeanne's passing but happy to say that I knew her. I spent many hours at her house during my youth and will never forget her smile, laughter and her generosity. She loved the young people in our small town and would always listen to their problems without judgement. Jeanne was a special person and my friend. Eddie
