Jodi Hawker Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on December 2, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Jodi Hawker of Independence, Iowa. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jodi Hawker to show support.
As Jodi departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Jodi may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Jodi leaves behind.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Richard Nelson and Carol Johnston. She is survived by: her daughters, Johna Gisi (Chris) of Rock Island, IL and Joann Hawker of Oak Grove, OR; her grandchildren, Ty Lehman, Olivia Lehman, Darien Gisi, Hailey Gisi, Elliott McNeme and Farron McNeme; her siblings, Mark Nelson of Cuba, IL, Julie Nelson of Aurora, IA and Janet Schmock (Dave) of Crescent, IA; and her former husband Mark Hawker. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
