JoMell's Story

I recently was informed about classmates.com by my ex-husband Greg Gathings. We had 2 children, a boy and a girl. Our son died in a MVA in 2006, no parent should have to experience a loss of a child. I graduated from nursing school in 1990, and was a single parent for 9 years. I remarried in 1994, and had 2 girls with my current husband. I moved to my hometown in 1985, and have been back in my hometown for 37 years. We are self-employed, and looking forward to retirement. We are currently downsizing, from 60 acres to 2.13. We are weekend warriors at the 2.13 acres, and are currently into the 3rd year of our 5 year plan. We are doing most of the work ourselves, and love the designing process.

e would of loved it as much as I do. My 3 daughters and husband gave me the strength to keep going on this crazy ass ride we call “LIFE”. In 2012 my eldest daughter had a baby boy, he was what made my life have another meaning which was a blessing. Being a grandmother made my life have purpose, and he is my only grandchild at this point in time. My younger daughters are 28 and 25, and have big plans for their careers, marriage and kids are not yet on the forefront. The oldest is a nurse in Atlanta, and the youngest is a welder, and she is going to school to be a welding inspector. They are amazing young women, we are proud of them. I’m looking forward to getting my garden started, but have to wait due to severe weather in Oregon. I plan on visiting Columbus in the spring when I go visit my daughter in Atlanta. It will be fun to enjoy southern dining again, and taking in the historical aspects which I did not appreciate once upon a time. Life is what we make of it! 💜
