Jenny was such a blessing to me and my family. And always was there for me and my family.Her mom asked her and Sherry to keep up with me because l was their sister. They both did just that . I was so broken hearted when l gif the news from her son but when l came to Kentucky a few months ago from Florida l saw the decline on her face when l left her home l began to pray for her . So l know that Jenny is ok and has finished her race . She had moble skills problems but no problems doing her assignments of reaching out on the phone and sending out cards and pictures to keep me updated and Sherry did also . I will never forget the love of my sister Jenny . Rest Jenny you ran the race so well . You were so brave . I send my love to my family from Florida. I wanted to be there but already had assignment in another state . Love you all Danita

Jeannie was always such a thoughtful and loving cousin and friend with a strong faith in God, like most of us there were challenges in her life, she was a steel Magnolia. She was always ready to talk about old times like they just happened. Our great loss and God great gift.

Aunt Jeannie and I shared a love of creativity. One of the things I enjoyed these past few years was sharing pictures of our latest projects.
When we were able to make it to Kentucky, she always went the extra mile to arrange visits with various family and friends. She was a connector, a encourager, and a loyal friend.

My loving caring sister Jeannie was always looking for ways to help others. I will miss her and our long texts and telephone calls.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Jeannie thru the visitation team at Memorial United Methodist Church. We were truly blessed to be able to share her memories, knowledge, and life. Jeanie was a delightful person to converse with and we will truly miss her.
