Jinene M. Studzinski

06/03/1973 - 02/28/2026

age 52, of Mantua Township, passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Jinene was born on June 3, 1973, to Shelene (née Bence) and the late James Studzinski. She grew up in Aurora, attended St. Rita Catholic School, and graduated in 1991 from Aurora High School. She went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation from Kent State University. Jinene had a lifelong love of horses and turned that passion into a meaningful career as a NARHA Instructor. She dedicated 27 years to serving as the facility and equine director at Fieldstone Farm before founding her own business, Heart Horse Farm. She cared for each horse with dedication and gentleness. As a compassionate and devoted instructor, Jinene inspired countless students, patiently guiding them to discover strength, independence, and self-confidence that would carry them far beyond the barn. In addition to her mother, Jinene is survived by her sister, Jolene Hackett; her many beloved animal companions; and her close friends. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in her memory to the Portage County Dog Warden's Office, 8120 Infirmary Road, Ravenna, OH 44266, or to the Portage County Humane Society (portageapl.org/donate). A celebration of Jinene's life will be held at a later date closer to her birthday in June. Updated service information will be available at www.buschcares.com when scheduled. Arrangements are entrusted to Busch-Romito Funeral Home, Twinsburg (330-425-2244).
