B. Jodelle (Wray) Gallagher, 71, a beloved resident of Byesville, passed away peacefully on Friday (December 6, 2024) at Astoria Place.

Born on December 15, 1952, in West Virginia, Jodelle was the daughter of the late William Wray and Campsie (Heskett) Wray.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Tony Neff, and mother-in-law, Marge Gallagher.
Jodelle is survived by her husband, Rich Gallagher, whom she married in March 1989; her daughter, Heather (and Todd) Neff-Carpenter of Salesville; her son Scott McElroy of Cambridge; her twin sister, Sharon Isner of Hannibal; two grandchildren, Taylor (and Bubba) Glass of Byesville and Trevor Dybendal of Byesville; a great-granddaughter, Raelynn Glass; and numerous cherished friends, including her lifelong companion, Margery Moore Sigman.
