Jenny graduated from Marengo Academy High School in 1979. While living in Scottsboro, AL she worked with the Tots to Teen program at Scottsboro High School for many years. After moving to Calhoun, TN for her husband’s work she was a homemaker and enjoyed spending time outside on the water or tending to her flower gardens. She was involved in her community in many ways. Most recently she volunteered with the Hands and Feet ministry of First Baptist Church of Cleveland where she was a member.

She will always be remembered for her giving heart, beautiful smile and outgoing personality which led to easy conversation with all she came in contact with. She loved her family, her church and everyone that she met. She cherished her role as "GiGi". She supported Hardy and Caroline in all events they were involved in. Jenny loved spending time with family at the beach and in Tuscaloosa supporting her favorite team. Roll Tide! She will be missed by many.
