I met Jenny when I first attended worship at Mendota Heights UCC in the summer of 2016. She was always kind, compassionate, and had the most beautiful smile. I will always remember how she welcomed me into the congregation and her passion for worthy causes. May she rest in peace.

Jenny was a special Concordia Cobber gal friend! I loved her can-do spirit. She was always ready for fun with her special smile. We will never forget the big heart she has for all. She will bring it with her on her heavenly journey.

Jenny always made me feel greatful for being her friend from childhood. Even after my moving away, she always had smiles and interest in what I was up to and that was special. Friends from Friendly Hills, and then classmates and church and choir members were common threads. She never failed to be smiling! You will be missed by many, Jenny!

Jenny always showed up. She showed up when our mother was ill. I have a video of all of us laughing just days before my mom passed away. We laughed about our Thanksgiving cooking disasters. Jenny was there when my sister died in 2014. She sent Christmas cards to my family every year. Choir at church was fun because Jenny showed up. I'm sure her daughters will continue her legacy of kindness....

Jenny was a beautiful person and will be missed by many. She always had a smile and something nice to say. I knew her for many years from singing together in the choir at Mendota Heights United Church of Christ. May her memory be eternal.

I had the good fortune of working with Jenny at NWA where she carried herself always with grace, spunk and professionalism. I was a better person to have had the opportunity to know her. Rest in Peace, Jenny.

Dear, sweet, Jenny. Where to start? Thank you for staying in touch for all these decades of "adulting." Today I am flooded with memories of so many happy times together as fellow choir and quartet members (Four-ever Yours is down to Jany and I.) We shared tears and laughs in the thousands. I loved watching your family from afar and all the times when" the girls" got together on my trips back home. The angel choir just added my favorite first soprano, dear one.

My first memory was her beautiful voice as we sang together in choir. I was in awe of her sparkling soprano range. Later, along with the late Kelley Berreman Norman and Jany Boller Ditcher, we formed "Four-ever Yours," a competitive barbershop quartet. I cherish so many memories of performances together, especially at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlors, where we sang for tips. I didn't drive, and Jenny was always so generous with giving me rides, even though I lived on the far edge of our school district boundary. We have seen each other on my visits almost every year up until Covid-19. I had admired so much her perseverence through cancer and remission and return. I send so many prayers for grace and comfort for all who mourn this too-soon passing.

My heart hurts from hearing this sad news. I will always remember how Jenny would twirl her hair between her fingers! I worked with Jenny at NWA - Cargo Automation. I remember one time when Jenny was on a business trip, possibly to Japan - or maybe even San Francisco back in the late 80s, she experienced an earthquake! We all huddled around the speakerphone as Jenny described her experience and to our relief she was safe! I will hold the memories of this sweet, sweet soul in my heart forever. My sincere condolences to Jenny's family.

I had known Jenny for many years and thought of her fondly even as the mention of her name. We had been members together at Medota Heights United Church of Christ. I have just moved back to the area and was going to try to reconnect. So sad to hear this wonderful lady has gone to soon.

Every memory of Jenny involves hugs and smiles. It was wonderful to attend church and related events with her. We were small but mighty! I trust she is reunited with her parents, and free of all pain and illness. She will be missed.

Jenny and I went to Sibley High school together we sang in the choir there and also went to the same church and sang together there. I always wanted to sit next her because she helped me sing in tune. Ha! We had great harmony together. I will miss her dearly!
