It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jodi Marlane Shalan, age 59, of Greenville, Texas. Jodi passed away on December 30, 2024, surrounded by love and peace. She was born on November 17, 1965, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to Chelle Renee Rosenthal and Allen Leslie Verk. Jodi was a woman of remarkable warmth and spirit. She found beauty in the simplest things, from the serenity of nature to the companionship of her beloved dogs, especially Bubba, who was a constant joy in her life. Her love for horses was equally profound, and she found great comfort and solace in their presence. Jodi's family was central to her heart, and she shared a deep and abiding love with Ronnie Thomas, the love of her life, of Greenville, Texas. She is also survived by her brother, Todd Verk of Las Vegas, Nevada, and her cousin, David Verk of Canada. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her. Jodi was a kind soul, always ready to lend a listening ear, and her smile could light up any room. Her memory will forever be cherished by her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have shared in her life. Jodi, you will be missed beyond words. Rest in peace.
