Jenny was known for being the life of the party. She loved to bake, being in nature with the flowers and the trees and the birds, loved to dance and sing and had a lightheartedness about her that was contagious. She wrote poems and she loved God and she truly lived every day like it was her last. Jenny had a way of making each person feel special and she was always able to make you laugh. She also loved all kinds of candy and desserts but most of all she loved her dog Sadie and she took her everywhere with her. She loved spending time with her children, who she loved more than anything, and her only grandson who was the apple of her eye. She was so happy to be a grandma.
