Jolene Pope

Jolene Elizabeth Kiser Pope, 81, of Flowes Store Rd., went home to be with her Lord on June 15, 2015. A loving and kind person to all who knew her, she is survived by her son, Charles Wayne Pope (Linda); her sister, Patsy Thompson (Ken); and sister-in-law, Thelma Kiser, as well as her grandchildren, Brian Wayne Pope (Amber) and Tashia Elizabeth Evans (Blake), and step grandchildren Crystal Elliot and Bambi Delco. Great grandchildren include Grayson Elizabeth Howell and Evelyn Elyse Pope, as well as step grandchildren Jasmine, Kyra, Brittany, and Leah Delco and Isaac and Sophia Barton.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Charles Henry Pope, and her parents, Grady and Lucille Kiser, her sister, Jean Rhinehardt, and brother, Bailey Kiser.

Born June 26, 1933 and raised in Cabarrus County, she graduated from Bethel High School and was a member of Oakridge Missionary Baptist Church. She was formerly employed at Carol May in Concord and Penn Carrol Hosiery in Mt. Pleasant. Known as MaMaw to many, she was a great cook and always had a smile and plenty of snacks to share with all who entered her door. She had a lifetime of caring and serving others, which she did without complaint and with love--she was a gentle and generous spirit. Above all, she put her family first.

The family would like to thank Hospice Palliative Care of Cabarrus County and Dr. Deanne Manjeiri and staff of Northeast Senior Care. The family will receive friends at Hartsell Funeral Home from 6:00pm until 8:00pm on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 and the funeral will be at 1:00pm on Thursday, June 18, 2015.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County 5003 Hospice Ln, Kannapolis, NC 28081.
