JoDee married Jay Horob in 1983 and they had two children together: Jessica (1987) and Jaymie (1996). They lived on the Horob family farm for most of those years and later they moved to Williston. JoDee later met John Fuhrmann and they were married on December 22, 2006. John and JoDee shared a daughter named Gracie who was born January 3, 2006. They currently lived in Williston.

She had different professions throughout her life. She worked for Kmart, Glendive Public Schools where she taught in a rural one room schoolhouse, NDAD, Winfield Solutions and most recently, teaching for Williston Public School District.

JoDee had many passions in her life, with her family being number one. JoDee took an active role in her granddaughters’ lives by having sleepovers and swimming parties at the family home. JoDee loved to smile and laugh with her friends and family.

She loved to spend time traveling to many different places. Some of her trips included: Paris, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, and Hawaii. JoDee spent lots of time planning other vacations such as going to Disney World, going on cruises, taking camping trips, and going to Vegas with her loved ones. Throughout the years, JoDee loved riding and taking care of her horses, Duke, Ringo, and Rocky. The family also loved their dogs, Owen and Hope and currently the family cats, Spencer and Kimber.

Throughout the years, JoDee took up different hobbies. She enjoyed sewing, Diamond dot art, scrapbooking, cross stitching, crocheting and rock collecting. She was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed creating homemade dresses and Halloween costumes for the girls when they were younger. Most recently, she started making Minky blankets for all her loved ones. She was compassionate about giving gifts to everyone just to see them smile and let them know she was thinking of them.
