Dotty Jo Cauley Worley, 62, of Indianola, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, at her home.
Jo was born Aug. 15, 1961, to John Wesley and Viola Harris Cauley. She married Robert Gil Worley and together they made their home in Indianola. She worked at Young Ideas in Indianola for many years.
Jo was a devoted wife and mother. She always supported her children and never allowed them to give less than 100% of themselves at whatever they were doing. Jo made sure she was at every event they had no matter where it was. She was very family-oriented and enjoyed every moment with her family. JoJo, as she was affectionately known by her friends and family, learned a new level of love when it came to her grandchildren. She had the same devotion to them, always being there for them no matter what. Jo had strong opinions and was quick to give someone her raw, honest opinion about things, which is what a lot of people valued from her. She left a great impact on those around her and pushed them to be the best they could be. She was a faithful Christian and spent time doing Bible study every day. JoJo was instrumental in leading her grandson Caiden to Christ. She was a member of Grace Community Church in Indianola.
Jo was preceded in death by her parents, John and Viola Cauley; and her sister, Cindy Hawkins.
She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Robert Gil Worley of Indianola; her son, Robert Gil Worley II, also of Indianola; her daughter, Maegan McDavitt (Watson) of Gluckstadt; her sister, Ann Tharp of New Albany; three grandchildren, Emma Belton, Caiden Worley and Archer McDavitt, and a fourth grandchild, Theo McDavitt, on the way.
