When I came to work at the Roanoke Valley Chapter/Appalachian Blood Services Region, American Red Cross in 1981 Jenny was a vital part of the Volunteer Services Department. Although we rarely made contact after she retired, those rare occasions were very special. May her sister, children, grand children, greatgranddaughter, nieces, nephews and cousins find comfort in their treasured memories.

Somewhat distant cousins,yet cousins we are and forever cousins we shall be then ;now;and evermore.Capable,willing,always there for others seeking little for her own keep.Smileing,cheerful,and full of Luck Charm.
Serious when she had to be,stalworth in her stance of responsibility.A fair representative of the fairness and disapline I see in all my kinfolk on the Luck side,with that famous Bedford County Luck drawl in her speech too.
How did I get left out? My time and yours will come soon enough and when it does ,Jenny will be in heaven signing up folks to be volunteers in heaven no doubt. See ya later Jenny.

A wonderful lady has left us and made many, near and far, very sad. Jenny was giving and caring, fun to be with,generous, and a joy to all who knew her. She was a good friend over a lifetime. A better person, I haven't known!
She fought bravely against health problems without complaint.
Our many memories of past shared experiences must sustain us.
To Jenny's family I don't need to tell you how much I loved her. You know.

To the family of Jenny Wren, I was a classmate of hers at Bedford High School and enjoyed seeing her at our reunions.She remained as pretty and sweet as always.
Would you ,please, let us know the arrangements.
I've talked to another classmate, Lois Witt Talton ,and she will contact other classmates.
To all her family and sister, we are thinking of you and will miss Jenny greatly!
