Obituary for Jolene Marie (Marcotte) Foley | Ryan Mortuary
November 28, 1954 ~ September 27, 2021 (age 66)
Jolene Marie Foley passed away peacefully on September 27, 2021 while at Kenwood Nursing Home at 66 years, 9 months and 30 days of age. She was born to Theophile Marcotte, Jr. (Junior) and Ermalina Rudell on November 28, 1954 in Oakley, Kansas. After that marriage dissolved, Nadene took over the role of mother when she married Junior in 1957.
After Jolene graduated from Oakley High School in 1973, she moved to Salina, Kansas, where she met and married William “Bill” Foley on May 22, 1976. During their 45 year marriage they had three children.
Jolene worked a variety of jobs in Salina, often more than one at a time until her health declined. She was very involved in Special Olympics of Salina and served as treasurer for many years. Jolene was also known as the best hostess to many WWE Wrestling pay per view parties for James and friends.
The title she most treasured was Mom and Grandma Jo. Jolene was happy being a mother but when she became a grandmother, she was over the moon happy. She lit up whenever she spoke of Aaron, Aiden, Ansen and Chevelle Everett.
She was preceded in death by her parents Junior and Nadene Marcotte; sisters Betty Marcotte Gaydusek and Linda Marcotte Greenlee; stillborn brother Richard Neil; and brother Randy Huffman.
Jolene is survived by her husband Bill; children Rachel Everett (Ace), Hutchinson, KS, and James and Jessica Foley, of the home; grandchildren Ansen, Aiden, Aaron and Chevelle Everett; sister Karen Marcotte Foster (Curtis), LaVista, NE; brother Bill Huffman, Oakley; and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.
