Jenn was known as a kind, loving, gentle soul whose beautiful smile and joyful nature uplifted those around her, a free spirit who loved the calm of the ocean, an incredible wife and mother who also had endless energy to care for others and serve our community as a Special Education Teacher teaching at the Stanley G.
