Jenny was born on May 9, 1972, in Bath, NY, the daughter of Terrence J. and Mary Kay (Townsend) Hough.
She went to school in Sarasota, Florida and moved to Dubuque when she was a teenager. She was employed at Shot Tower Pizza and Chuck and Jo's as a waitress. She eventually moved to Brodhead, Wisconsin and went to work at the Citrus Café. Jenny enjoyed being in the great outdoors. She was big into playing softball, going camping, 4 wheeling, fishing, kayaking and sitting pool side. She enjoyed traveling and trips to Bath, New York and Siesta Keys, Florida were some of her favorite destinations. Jenny also loved spending time with Jeyden going shopping and having "girls days".
