RIP Jennie. Gene, I am so sorry for your loss. Jennie was the most unselfish person and a real treasure. She will be missed. God gives us the strength to endure the passing of our loved ones. She will be cheering the "HAWKS" from Heaven. CA2

Gene and family I am so sorry for your loss. Jennie was one of the sweetest women I know. Just know you are in Jay and my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jennie. I had no idea she was ailing. I would see Jennie and Gene both walking at Park Fair Mail in the mornings and would say hi all the time. It saddens me she is gone. And then to see Gene this morning walking the mall before the funeral and I still had not known until someone told me. I hope Gene you continue to walk and go to the Iowa State Fair where I usually see you and Jennie at the Breakfast place on Saturday mornings. I know it won't be the same...

Jennie was a true professional during her career at Firestone. A true friend with a "forever" smile and warm greeting. She will be missed.

So sorry. RIP, Jennie.

Nice lady and a GREAT supporter of North High School softball.

Gene, Tom, Steven, Brian and families;
Jennie was such a delightful, gracious woman! Mark and I were so sorry to hear of her illness and passing. She was so very proud of all of you, and we loved to hear updates about her grandchildren, and of course the Hawkeyes. We will miss her and will always remember how kind she was to us - her smile and laughter could fill a room! Mark and I extend our sincere condolences to all of you at the loss of such a special lady. May happy memories...

Jenny and I worked closely together when I was Plant Manager of the Firestone Plant. She gave me all the support I needed as Secretary. She was pleasant and efficient. Much too young to leave her family. My sincere condolences.
