Obituary
VERONA- Jody Renee Dingle, age 52, of Verona, passed away on Monday, Aug. 30, 2021, at Agrace HospiceCare surrounded by her loving family. She was born on Oct. 4, 1968, in Manhattan, Kan., the daughter of Jerry and Beverly (Freeman) Mock.
Jody graduated from Verona High School and UW-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in Arts. She married Mark Dingle on Aug. 7, 1993, in Verona. Jody worked in human resources for UW-Health. She attended St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church in Verona.
Jody’s smile would light up a room. She was the most loving and caring person you would ever meet. She blessed us with her gift of seeing life through the lens of a camera, creating memories that we will all cherish forever. What started as a fun hobby to share with family and friends, developed into a beautiful passion. Jody started her public work through her daughter and son’s sports, sharing action and candid shots of the entire team. She quickly branched out to photographing high school seniors, families, and special moments. However, her true passion was photographing nature and vacations with family in Northern Wisconsin. Her photos immersed us in the moment, allowing us to see and experience life with her. Jody loved spending time up north in the woods camping and fishing with her family. That was her happy place.
Her smile, kindness and generosity will be forever missed.
Jody is survived by her husband, Mark; daughter, Sam Dingle; son, Drew Dingle; parents, Jerry and Beverly; sister, Stacy Knoll; two brothers, Shaun Mock and Ryan Mock; mother-in-law, Marlene Dingle; brothers-in-law, Richard (Jodi) Dingle, Steve Dingle and John (Carrie) Dingle; sister-in-law, Minda Maurer; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her father-in-law, Stanley Dingle.
A funeral service will be held at ST. JAMES EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH, 427 S. Main St., Verona, at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021. Visitation will be held at the church from 11 a.m. until the time of the service on Tuesday. A private burial will be held at Richland Center Cemetery.

Jody gave us so many precious memories by sharing her substantial gift of taking photographs during our kids' sporting events. Her daughter, Sam, and my daughter Kate, played softball together for years. She was still a hobby photographer then, but I knew she was exactly the right person to take senior pictures for my son in 2014. I just knew that with her effervescent personality and kind spirit she'd do a fantastic job, and she did! Naturally, three years later, she did the same for Kate. My heart is broken for the Dingle family, along with Jody's folks. My prayers are for the peace that passes understanding to sustain them all.

I met Jody through the Verona Area Soccer Club when Drew was in middle school, and had the pleasure of knowing her for many years thereafter. Jody was so supportive of her family member's interests, and it was a joy to sit along the sidelines with her. Many of my family's treasured photos were taken by Jody: senior portraits, family pictures, and loads of the best soccer action shots ever taken. Jody had a gentle and warm nature, and always a smile upon her face. I feel honored to have known her, and she set such a great example for so many. Sending our love to Drew, Sam, and Mark. Love, The Dugan Family
