Janine Arrigo Obituary
1963 - 2021
Janine "Jenny" Arrigo, age 57, passed away unexpectedly into the hands of the Lord on July 14, 2021, in Columbus, Ohio. She was born in Columbus on August 27, 1963, to John "Tom" Arrigo (deceased) and Mary "Annie" McClenathan (Heiser). Also surviving her are daughters, Amanda Marks and Heather Marks; grandson, Alexander "AJ" Adams; brothers, Mike, Jim, and Tony; sister, Shari; multiple aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and longtime loving companion and devoted caregiver Jim Brudny of Johnstown. Jenny attended Franklin University and graduated from Capital University Law School. She went on to have a successful career as a corporate attorney until 2013 when she was forced to retire from BroadStreet Capital Partners after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Never one to complain, Jenny immersed herself in the numerous programs available in central Ohio for Parkinson's patients, including the "Delay the Disease" exercise classes and the "Tremble Clefs" singing classes. The family wishes to extend a special thanks to David Zid, Pam Richardson and the many others who were part of these programs.
Jenny enjoyed watching OSU, Notre Dame and Browns football, and going to Columbus Blue Jackets hockey games. She was an avid reader and faithful listener to NPR, but the two things she loved the most were her ice coffee and spending time at the New Jersey Shore, which was her "happy place." Jenny and her radiant smile will be dearly missed. Family will welcome friends from 3-5:30pm Saturday, July 24 at SCHOEDINGER NORTHEAST, 1051 E. Johnstown Rd., Gahanna. In lieu of flowers, the family would request donations to the National Parkinson Foundation Ohio. https://www.parkinson.org/GreatLakes.

I just learned of Jenny's passing and wanted to express my sincere condolences to her family and those who loved her. I first met Jenny when she asked for my legal assistance with an adoption. Soon thereafter, we worked together for a number of years when she was employed by County Savings Bank and its successor companies. Jenny was an outstanding attorney and a wonderful person. I'm glad that I was able to get to know and work with her. She will be missed ...

I knew Jenny for many years but not well. But I knew her well enough to know she had courage, grace & good humor and great & thoughtful intelligence. I admired her greatly as I watched her walk through tough times, particularly since her diagnosis. I will miss her but am privileged to have known her. She is someone who left her "corner of the world" better than she found it.
