Jenny grew up in a large farming family in Kentucky, and married Garland in November of 1942. They moved to Ohio and raised a large family, eventually settling in Crawford County. She attended the Crestline Nazarene Church for many years and loved gospel hymns. Jenny was a homemaker for many years, and enjoyed sewing clothes, gardening, and making her famous ham, potatoes, and green bean dinners. Eventually, Jenny started working ITT North Electric, where she retired after more than 30 years. In her later years, she enjoyed family gatherings, sitting on her front porch, and traveling whenever she could. Her favorite trip was with her sister Mary when they went to Hawaii. The family would especially like to thank Pathways Hospice for their assistance in her final days.
