She was born March 11, 1920 in Santa Paula, and was a lifelong Ventura resident. Jennie had been a machine operator at Oxnard Frozen Foods, retiring after 30 years with the company.

She was a devoted member of Sacred Heart Church, and enjoyed shopping, making crafts, gardening, and her trips to Las Vegas. Patronizing and vending at swap-meets was one of her favorite pastimes, and she loved attending her children's and grandchildren's sports activities and special events.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bernardino Donate; mother, Martina Alvara; sister, Ramona; brothers, Daniel, Pete and Raul; and the father of her children, Mike Ortega, Sr.

Funeral mass will be celebrated 10 a.m., Tuesday, April 6, at Sacred Heart Church, 10800 Henderson Rd., Ventura, with recitation of the rosary beginning at 9:30 a.m. The Reverend Ernie Arceo will officiate. Interment will follow at Santa Clara Cemetery, 2370 North H St., Oxnard. Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home and Crematory, 3150 Loma Vista Rd., Ventura.

Grandma,
I miss you so much and still find it very difficult to comprehend that you are gone, taken so suddenly from us makes our heartache so much more painful. God blessed us with 90 wonderful years with you. I will miss seeing you at church every Sunday and also at breakfast afterwards, it just will not be the same. You are in a better place with our Lord. Grandma please tell grandpa that we love and miss him very much. Until we see each other again Grandma, I love you...
Your Grandaughter, Cathy & Rob Polzin

So sorry for your loss. I'm praying for all of you. Your Grandma Jennie worked (more than likely) with both my mom and dad, Robert and Marian Bangs, at Oxnard Frozen Foods. What a small world.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Jenny was amazing at her "young" age. I will miss seeing her shopping on Sundays at Albertsons.
