Jamie (Korth) Tennant Obituary
Jamie Sue (Korth) Tennant of La Crosse, WI, a loving wife and mother of two amazing daughters, passed away on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 after a hard- fought battle with cancer. She was 35.
Jamie was born to Brian and Debbie (Schams) Korth on October 29, 1984 in La Crosse, WI. She graduated in 2003 from Aquinas High School and received her Bachelor of Science degrees in both Finance and Human Resources from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2007.
Jamie married Phillip Tennant in 2011 and they lived in Holmen, WI. While living in Holmen, they welcomed two wonderful girls into the world, Kennedy and Savannah. The family then moved to La Crosse in 2016. She had worked as a Compensation Analyst for Gundersen Health System since 2012.
Jamie is survived by her husband, Phillip; her daughters, Kennedy (6) and Savannah (3); her parents, Brian and Debbie Korth; her sister, Jessica (Chuck) Neubauer; her brother, Justin Korth; her sister, Jacey Korth; her grandfather, Paul (Judy) Schams all of La Crosse as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephew. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Carol Schams of La Crosse and her paternal grandparents, LuVerne and Beverly Korth of Nekoosa, WI.
Jamie enjoyed spending time with her family. She treasured her time with her little girls the most. Jamie enjoyed taking them to lessons, on shopping trips and on vacations, like to Disney World and on Disney Cruises. What she enjoyed most were the little things, like doing their hair, snuggling on the couch and watching them dance across the living room. Though she may be gone, she will always be with and watching over her girls.
Due to the recent critical events and following State and Federal guidelines, private burial will take place in St. Joseph’s Ridge Catholic Cemetery. Public services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Aquinas Catholic Schools.
Jamie’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Benjamin Parsons and Dr. Patrick Conway along with the entire staff of the Oncology/Radiation Department at Gundersen Healthcare System for the care and support they provided.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Korth and Tennant families. I was unaware of Jamies cancer and was shocked to hear she had passed. I remember that she was quiet, hard working, and determined. She had a lovely smile that lit up the room.
God bless,
