Jenny loved her family, friends, loved her pets including cats, dogs, horses and mules. She also enjoyed camping and farming. Jenny could often be found horseback riding and going for ATV rides. She was known for planning elaborate four course meals during planting and harvest season and would set up a table in the field waiting for the tractors to come to the end of the rows to stop and eat. She always made sure no one went hungry while in the field. She was an avid cook and loved to read cookbooks. She was known for her wonderful sense of humor and could find something funny in any situation. Her favorite songs was Alan Jackson’s, “Remember When.” She was a devoted farm wife, a wonderful mother and adoring grandmother. Jenny will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
