Paul Jolly, Jr.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paul Jolly Jr., a beloved husband, father, and distinguished member of the Oakland community. Born on December 14, 1951, in Greenwood, MS, to the late Paul Jolly, Sr., and Christine Cox, Paul dedicated 44 years of his life to the manufacturing industry, serving diligently at Modine, formerly Heatcraft in Grenada. A man of unwavering faith, he was a devout Christian and active member at Oakland Baptist Church.

Throughout his life, Paul found joy in the simple pleasures - fishing, football, and the soul-stirring melodies of bluegrass music. His commitment to his family was unmatched, leaving behind his loving wife of 21 years, Jane Jolly, and three cherished sons, Ian Jolly (Wrenn), Matthew Jolly (Jessica), and Daniel Jolly (Laura). His memory will forever be honored by his adoring sister, Lisa Dalton (Eddie), of Tupelo, MS, and six beloved grandchildren.

In the presence of his family and friends, Paul Jolly was a pillar of strength and kindness, a beacon of light in times of darkness. He will be fondly remembered as a man of integrity, resilience, and boundless love.

In addition to his parents, Paul was preceded in death by three brothers, Graymond, Sam and Mark Jolly.

Paul will be interred at Mt. Gilead Baptist Church.
