Jennielee was born in New Orleans, LA and was a longtime resident of St. Bernard Parish until hurricane Katrina. She resided for several years in Slidell, LA before returning to her daughter’s home in Chalmette, LA. She truly enjoyed life through her simple pleasures of traveling, her trips to the casinos, playing Canasta with her friends, eating pizza with her Loop Group and enjoying her companionship in many clubs which she participated, including the Home Demonstration Club and Suburban Women’s Club. She found pleasure in the details of everyday life and cared deeply for others, especially children. She will always be remembered for her dedication to her family, her loving spirit, her laughter, and spoiling the grandchildren. She was well loved and will be deeply missed by us all.
