Jenna McPherson Obituary

Jenna Robinson McPherson SAN DIEGO -- Our precious Jenna died August 8, 2105. She leaves her husband Dana and adored Daughter Emma Mae, stepdaughter Erica, stepson Rory, wife Jenna and their daughter Kailey. She is also survived by her dad Jack Robinson of Newport Beach. Jenna was raised in Mission Viejo, graduated from Capistrano Valley High School and attended ASU. She will be remembered for her love of beauty, flowers and children. She was a great cook and loved to entertain. She had a little flower shop in La Jolla and helped raise two foster children Yani and Leeva, even coached Leeva's softball team to a championship. For the past twelve years she has devoted herself to the health of Emma Mae. Jenna was so loved by so many, her mom and stepdad Thomas and Diane Shaver, her Shaver brothers and sisters-in law John and Michele, Bobby and Kelly, Neal and Robin, Steven and Lisa and all their children. She loved her Uncle Jeff and Aunt Sandy and her 33rd Street gang. Jenna was a gift to us all and will be dearly missed. Services August 21, 2015, 11 a.m. at St. Didacus Catholic Church, Normal Heights, San Diego, reception to follow.
