Will always remember Jenny's beautiful smile and her humor.  
The  tributes made to her at her funeral are testimate as to the wonderful person she was.  Am sure John, Marlyn, and Jenny are all giving the aunts and uncles a good laugh with all their shinanagins.  Jenny will be truely missed.  GOD BLESS YOU DALE AND YOUR FAMILY.

The RNICU family is shocked and saddened from the loss of one of our own. A large group of us had just met that afternoon at a local restaurant to catch up and share past memories. I'll never forget the big hug Jenny game me as she was leaving and little did I know this would be the last.  
Jenny will be remembered for her competent and compassionate nursing career, a devoted friend, wife and mother. Jenny looked forward to yearly trips to Shipshewana, Indiana to stalk up on Amish crafted items. I loved listening to her stories about how full the van was packed coming back from the floor to the top roof, leaving little room for the inhabitants.
Condolences to Rudy, the boys, and Billie (most treasured friend)
Rest in peace my friend.

Jenny was one of the sweetest people I know, but would take every opportunity to tease someone. When I first started in the unit I wasn’t sure of very many names. When she found out I didn’t know hers she questioned me about the names of everyone in the room. Of course I didn’t know them all and she thought that was funny since I had been a volunteer for a while before working there. For weeks, every time I saw her she’d say “Hi Tracy, what’s my name?” I loved her gentleness, her humor, and the way she truly cared about patients and families. When I see her in my mind, she’s smiling.

I worked with Jenny in the RNICU for 25 years. As a pediatric physical therapist, I worked with the babies in her care, and I always enjoyed the conversations we would have during those times. She had a smile that would light up a room. I missed seeing her last Friday at the RNICU get together, so I'm sending hugs to you, Jenny, up in heaven! You sure will be missed by every person who had the pleasure of experiencing  your wonderful smile and joy for life!

Our nursing community lost one of the kindest and talented nurses when Jenny passed. There are so many fleeting memories of her laughing or rolling her eyes after a ridiculous order. I am forever proud to have been a team member with an incredible group of nurses at Sparrow RNICU alongside Jenny. I am so thrilled knowing she spent time with many of you and am comforted knowing she was on top of her life game and enjoying herself and close friends. My sincerest condolences to her family, BFF Billie, and many friends near and far. Rest in Peace Jenny!

Your friendship was a Blessing, It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember and treasure. Words cannot describe how much you will be missed. 


I am still in disbelief.....a memory that always puts a smile on my face is morell mushroom hunting in the woods together.  Jenny always made sure I went home with some even if it ment going to the freezer for some that she had picked earlier!!  Loved our GDO time together!  My Friend, you are and will be missed!!

Jenny was a fantastic colleague and friend to everyone who had the privilege of working with her. So very glad I got a chance to see her, but I am reeling in shock at her death. Rudy, my sincere condolences to you and the family. She will be sorely missed by many.

I had to reread the Facebook post, again and again. I didn’t believe what I read! It seems like yesterday when I would walk into the unit and we would great each other with “hey lady!” 🙂, then there would sometimes be “don’t touch that baby! I Just got him settled! We would laugh and I would go on to the next prong change, then we would start chatting  about where she was traveling to next. I got the pleasure to work with her for 25 years and she always  made the day enjoyable and fun with her sarcastic and whitty sense of humor.  She was very special and she will be missed by so many!! ❤️

I cried when my friend Mary Jane called and told me about Jenny.  I haven't worked in the Rnicu since 1992, but fondly remember working with Jenny.  She was a very compassionate nurse and so fun to be around.  She was my locker partner in the old unit.  She always scrutinized my attire.  On night I wore in a very stylish pair of red flats, but it became an icy night and frankly they were ridiculous to be wearing in that weather.  When she came in,  in the am (I worked nights) she immediately came to my room to tease me.  Next night I discovered a card on the locker with Dorothy and her ruby slippers, and some witty comment from her.  She teased me about that until the day I left the unit many years later.  I would run into her at the Mason Meijer and it was still something we laughed about.  Always enjoyed seeing her and hearing her laughter. Will miss her.  My deepest condolences to her family and friends and to the RNICU family that knew her so well.  Rest in peace dear Jenny.  Love, Linda

I am still in shock about Jenny.  I was with her at lunch just hours before.  She looked wonderful. I have know her for more years than I can remember while working in the RNICU with her.  She used to take me to work when she dropped Greg off at a daycare across from my house.  We shared many GDO days together.  One of my fondest memories of Jenny  is all the spiced  jelly beans she used to eat.  My most sincere sympathy to her family and friends.  She will be missed.

I have known Jenny for over 39 years & worked side by side with her for over 32 years in the NICU at Sparrow Hospital.  Jenny was a Fantastic Nurse not only to the babies, but to the families of those babies, always going the extra mile to make their stay in the NICU more comfortable and helping ease their pain. She was also a Phenomenal human being & friend, bringing a laugh & smile to everyone that she came into contact with. My last memory of Jenny is from the day that she left us, way too early. We were at a luncheon get-together for those of us that had retired. Jenny looked Fantastic, healthy, and full of life.  I never would have thought that at the end of lunch, with a hug & goodbye kiss that it would be the last time that I would see or speak with her ever. My heart goes out to Rudy & the boys, Greg & Eric and to the extended family. Rest in Peace my Friend.  My heart is heavy.

This happened years ago . Jenny’s kids were young and in soccer I think. The coach called her about the schedule and ask for her phone number. She couldn’t remember it and had to look it up in the phone book.😊One day at work I had the perfect opportunity to tease her .  She was at the nurses station alone . I called and she picked up . perfect . I told her I was from HR and we were updating our records. I proceeded to ask for her phone number . She told me . I asked her  if she had to look it up . She looked up and saw me in another room watching her and laughing. You can only quests what she said to me . Haha We laughed about that ever since. I’ve know her for 40 yrs  and will miss all the things that made her Jenny. Thanks for our GDO group . I loved being part of that and getting to share our time together. I’ll miss you forever Jenny.

I am in shock and incredibly sad over Jenny's passing.  She was a wonderful co-worker, friend and compassionate nurse.   Please Lord wrap your arms around her family and help them through this time of grief.  You will be missed by many, God bless you.  

As part of the 3 muscateers Jenny Sandy and I were the same age with birthdays all within 6 weeks.  I loved working with Jenny. She was so fun and an excellent friend! She will be sorely missed. 

Jenny and I have been friends for over 35 years. We worked side by side with the best group of nurses Sparrow has had the privilege of employing.  We got together outside of work and laughed and shared for hours.
Jenny was as dedicated a human being as I have ever met. The smile on her face in the pictures she shared told you get heart was full and joyful.
I missed my chance to see her one last time at the lunch for all our partners in crime. I'm sending you a big hug in Heaven, Jen. 

My best friend forever...I miss you so much. The times and laughs we have had together have been a large part of my life.  Thank goodness for our GDO outings. You were an excellent nurse and gave a good part of your life caring and nuturing others. You were a wonderful mom, wife and nana.  Your passing has left a huge hole in my heart. Love you forever.
