Jody L. Younker

Jody L. Younker, a lifelong resident of Weatherly, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on June 19th, 2025, at the age of 52, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Born on November 1st, 1972, Jody was a vibrant spirit whose infectious laugh and radiant smile could brighten even the darkest days. Wherever Jody was, love and warmth followed. Her passion for painting, writing, and all things creative was an inspiration to those around her. She cherished spending time with her family, enjoyed listening to classic rock, and found great fulfillment in caring for others. Jody's electric personality and dedication to helping others naturally led her to a career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Jody is reunited in God's warm embrace with her beloved father, Timothy J. Younker, and her cherished husband, Rodney Kaschak.

Jody is survived by;  her mother, Geraldine M. Younker (Mehlig). her sisters, Nadine D. Young (Younker) and LeeAnn Kiddish (Younker); her daughter, Paige A. Kephart; and her granddaughters Chelsea L. Kephart, Madison Stevens, Gabriella Stevens, Cameron Stevens, Steven Spakowski and many loving uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews.

Jody lived life on her own terms, a true ball of life whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A celebration of Jody's life will be announced by her family at a later date.

Private arrangements entrusted to the Philip J. Jeffries Funeral Home & Cremation Services of 211 First Street Weatherly, Pennsylvania 18255. (570) 427-4231
