Jennie was a woman of great spirit and spirituality.

She was always smiling and laughing. She believed in and epitomized the power of positive thinking.

She loved to read, play bingo, go to Atlantic City where she “never lost”, play cards, do her word searches, eat good food and enjoy a good party. She loved to dance and to listen to music, especially Frank Sinatra. In her day, she was a great cook.

She was a member of the Rosary Society and the Catholic Daughters of America. She volunteered at Hudson Regional Hospital and at the Secaucus Public Library.

Most notably, she dedicated her life’s work to her enduring marriage and to raising her six children. She was the truest example of Unconditional Love.
