Jenny was born in Sikeston, MO on August 16, 1928, daughter of the late Ralph and Mayme Williams. She was a proud graduate of Flint Central High School, Class of 1946. Her strong work ethic and kind spirit were evident early in life and carried her throughout her years. On July 10, 1948, Jenny married the love of her life, Darwin L. Wadsworth. They shared a beautiful life together until his passing on August 17, 2003. Jenny's love for her family was a cornerstone of her life, and she remained dedicated to them in every way. Jenny worked for many years in the admissions office at the University of Michigan-Flint, where she made a lasting impact on the students and faculty she served. Her professionalism and warmth were felt by all who knew her. Upon her retirement, Jenny continued to stay active in the community and was a cherished member of the Flint Central Nazarene Church. A woman of grace, Jenny had many interests that brought her joy. She was an active member of the Red Hat Society, where she forged lasting friendships with other women who shared her passion for life and laughter. Jenny also loved golfing, bowling, and most importantly, spending time with her dear friends and family. Her home was always a gathering place for those she loved, and her heart was open to all who walked through her door. Jenny's legacy is one of love, kindness, and joy. She leaves behind a family and community who will forever be grateful for the time they had with her.
Jenny is survived by 2 sons, Denny (Becky) Wadsworth and Mike (Cindy) Wadsworth; 7 grandchildren, Kristina (Joe) Candela, Scott (Juli) Wadsworth, Trisha Navarre, Brett (Wendi) Wadsworth, Jessica (Luke) Baker, Matt (Melissa) Wadsworth and Sara (Casey) Mast; 15 great-grandchildren, Kaleb Navarre, Isaac Navarre, Paige Pearson, Maddisyn Pearson, Gwyn Gendernalik; Estelle Baker, Elise Baker, Landon Wadsworth, Lincoln Wadsworth, Elli Wadsworth, Lucy Wadsworth, Emmy Mast, Brynn Mast, Easton Mast and Cade Mast; 1 great-great-grandchild, Daxton Navarre; many other loving family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Mayme Williams and husband, Darwin L. Wadsworth.
