Jenny had the biggest heart of gold, and you were always greeted with a smile and a hug. She loved her "people" and always enjoyed attending or talking about her extended family and the activities they were involved in. Jenny loved to fish, golf and bowl and she belonged to several leagues in town where she competed at a high level, but she will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
She is survived by her son, William "Bill" (Sarah) Columber of Mount Vernon, her grandchildren, Isaiah Columber and Chelsey Brady, and two great grandchildren.
Besides her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Dale Columber, daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth "Cindy" and William Stillwagon.
