Jodie Ann

Mahoney

Jodie Ann Mahoney, 80, passed away November 9, 2026, at Life Care Center in Burlington, Kansas. Jodie was born March 3, 1946, on the family farm in rural Woodson County to Merton and Lois (Endsley) Mulsow. Her roots were firmly planted in the community she called home, where she built a life centered on family, faith, friendship, and helping others.

Jodie was a member of First Assembly of God Church and, after the church closed, began attending Burlington Christian Church. Her faith was an important part of her life. She worked in the Coffey County Appraiser's Office for 35 years, where she was certified in oil and gas. She also opened her heart and home as a foster caregiver, offering love, care, and support to children in need. Jodie was a member of JC Jaynes and the Coffey County Fair Board, giving her time and dedication to the community she loved.

Jodie married Bernard “Barney” Mahoney, and they had two children, Christopher and Marlas.

She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory: her children, Christopher Mahoney and wife Paula of Wichita Falls, Texas, and Marlas Mahoney of Burlington; grandchildren, Christopher Mahoney, Amber Mahoney, Jonathan Christian, and Trenton Christian; eight great-grandchildren; sister, Marcena Boles of Wichita; and Bobby Ledom, whom she considered a second son, along with his wife, Gailyn, and their children, Sydney Spencer and Allyson Brashears.

She was preceded in death by her father, Merton Mulsow; her mother, Lois Mulsow Hofer, and her husband, Paul Hofer; and her sister, Nyla Eccles.

Jodie will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her willingness to care for others, and the many years she devoted to serving her community. The love she shared and the lives she touched will remain a lasting part of the legacy she leaves behind. Though she will be deeply missed, the memories made with her will forever be treasured by those who knew and loved her.
