Jenny was a sweet, fierce person. Tiny and fierce. She was a dear, sweet, beautiful, loved girl by me and a great lady.
Jenny was a real self starter. She had many friends and the love of great teachers like Julie Rose and Damon White. Joe Aehsó and Steve Vande Zande, Mary Thundercloud-Eary and Mark Eary.
She was an active member in her youth with the community service youth group Public Achievement and the MCTS Bus Murals led by Steve vande Zande.
She went on to thrive at Riverside University High School where she excelled in both AP classes and national tests scoring at the top nationally.
After high school she continued her education in nursing, becoming an RN at Froedtert Memorial where she loved and cared for each and all of her patients; climbing further upward as a nurse in her community.
Her deepest and favorite love of all, Jenny started a family and adored her three beautiful girls: Nova, Anya and Saskia. She was active with their education at Milwaukee German Immersion School. She was active in the PTG. Please keep her girls in your prayers.
Jenny loved the theater, art, cooking, reading and writing. Dancing and singing like Elaine She was working on a cookbook, traveling and nature.
Jenny was a faithful follower in Christs way of kindness, love and forgiveness.
Unfortunately multiple illnesses during the pandemic took her down. They interfered with her ability to thrive. Yet she fought until she could no longer.
Jenny was the sweetest person in my life. My beautiful daughter. Our wonderful friend. I will miss her forever. I will miss her everywhere. On our world trips and camping. Singing, laughing, dancing by the lake.
While I rack my brain to understand her loss, I too seek acceptance.
Do not let worldly woes take you down. Live in faith and the spirit of good actions. Faith without works is dead. Dance, love, laugh and be joyful. Give. These will win against the sorrow of the world that will also remain. I know that's what Jenny wants. Like I said, She was one of the sweetest people I know. My friend, my love, my daughter. We'll do a jig when my time is up. Right now I send my love. Rest, dance and sing in Heaven. Keep an eye on us my dear sweet Jenny. Gods peace.
