Joellen H. Koyl

Joellen Hughes Koyl, 69, of Fletcher, Ohio, passed away on Monday, March 3, 2025. She was born on November 2, 1955, in Jacksonville, Florida.

Joellen was a beloved mother, grandmother, and lifelong companion. Known affectionately by many names-Mom, Granny, JoJo, Josie Woesie, and Aunt Jo-she brought joy to those around her with her sense of humor and warm spirit. She had a deep appreciation for classic rock and loved playing bingo.

She attended Northeastern High School and Clark County JVS.

Joellen was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Jefferson Hughes and Elsie Louise Hughes; her brother, Thomas J. Hughes; and her sister, Carolyn Reilly.

She is survived by her lifelong friend and companion, Jeffrey Dickason of Fletcher, Ohio; her son, Mark Thomas Koyl (Tara) of Springfield, Ohio; and her cherished grandchildren: Nickelle Desire Joanna Koyl of Vermont-who lovingly called her Granny-Hannah Lynn Koyl, and Mark Thomas Koyl Jr., both of Springfield, Ohio. She is also survived by her brothers, Jack Hughes (Bobbie) and Curtis Hughes (Becky), both of Jackson, Ohio; her sister, Debra Kay Sexton (Kirk) of Springfield; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends she made throughout her life.

A private family service will be held and a celebration of life gathering in Jackson, Ohio will be announced at a later date for all to attend.

Joellen's warmth and humor will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
