I worked with Jenell for 10 years and she was one of the dearest people I have known - never complained despite some of the hard times she has had. She was so strong during all of her treatments and always maintained a positive attitude. She passed on "All Saints Day" and that is completely appropriate as she was and still is a "Saint" in many ways. We will miss Jenell but know that she is still with us. My thoughts are with you. God Bless.

Jenell’s smile could brighten anyone’s day. I had the privilege of working with her and even though I knew her for just a short while I know that I will never forget her. She was always kind and laughing which could put anyone in the best of moods, no matter how much pain she was in. Her strength and perseverance were to be much-admired. She was an everyday hero; a friend who will always be respected and never forgotten. My prayers are with her family.

Jenell was a good friend. She never thought about her needs just the needs of others. I saw her give money to two strange kids one morning who were walking passed the parking lot. Jenell told me that they looked like they wouldn't have anything for Christmmas. That was the kind of person Jenell was! My sympathy goes out to her family. She will truly be missed.

Jennel was a wonderful person. I was able to work with Jennel for many years as a supplier. She was my only customer that gave me a hug every time I meet with her. I would take her out to lunch, just to listen to stories of her life. Everyone at DeLille knew her voice on the phone. We would always rush her orders out to her, because she always threatened to "come down there and beat knots on your head".

She was a great lady and we will all miss here.

It was a pleasure to work with Jenell at Franklin. Through her pain she was always there to give herself and to help others. She always was humerous, hard working, and helpful. She was a strong person who never liked to complain about herself. Sorry for your loss, but she is home with God at peace and free from pain.

I had the opportunity to be one of Jenell Evans vendors at Franklin International.

Jenell was extremely dilligent in her committment to do the best possible job for Franklin International.

As a customer of mine I held Jenell in the highest regard because she treated her vendors with respect and honesty. Jenell was able to get the best out of her vendors and hence the best for Franklin International.

I will miss Jenell very much, but I am glad to know she is no longer suffering.

God Bless you Jenell!
