Jen grew up in a bustling household, the cherished daughter of the late James and Kathleen (Moffett) Grandy Quinn, and the late stepfather, Peter Quinn. Her life was enriched by the love and camaraderie of her siblings: James, Shawn and his wife Peggy, Lori and her late husband Michael, Susan and her husband Billy, Kacey and her husband Mark, Pam and her husband Frank, Patty and her husband Tim, Kyle and his wife Kim, and Michael.

Her enthusiasm for the New York Giants was well-known, and game days were always a special time for her. Animals held a special place in Jen's life, especially her beloved pets, Brooklyn and Peanut, who were her constant companions and brought her immeasurable happiness.
Not only was Jen an amazing cook, but she also had a green thumb, taking pride in her vegetable garden that not only nourished the body but the soul as well. Friends and family were often the recipients of her culinary creations and the harvest from her garden, as she was always generous with the fruits of her labor.
