Jodi was born on July 9, 1957, and was adopted by the late Raymond and Dolores Wise. She attended Huff Junior High, Calvary Lutheran School, and Lincoln Park High School. Throughout her life, Jodi had many occupations, doing anything she could to ensure her family was taken care of. Before retiring, you could find her slinging drinks at The Other Bar or the old Midway, always being the life of the party. Jodi was dedicated to making her donation monthly to St. Jude, making photo collages for her family, was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to her St Louis Cardinals baseball, and most importantly, being the best mom, grandma, and great grandma, anyone could ever ask for.
On July 5, 2003, Jodi married the love of her life Steven “Steve” Weitekamp in Shelbyville, IL, and he survives. If you know Jodi, you know there is no such thing as step or half, family is family.

Jodi has one sister, Terry Fulks, a very special friend, Penny Wright, several nieces, and nephews, and many many more. To know Jodi was to love Jodi and we know she was the most welcoming, open-hearted woman and was always known for her doors being open to anyone on any given day, so if you were a friend of anyone listed above…you were her family. Jodi is being welcomed at the gates of Heaven by her parents, Uncle George and Aunt Riva Schmidt, brother Harvey Pollard, son Earl Jett, great-granddaughter Kaylee Lanier, and her beloved cats Allie and Albert.
