Jenny was of the Pentecostal faith. Her passion was her family, where she was known by Mamaw by most of those who loved her and she loved them all dearly and spending time with them was her joy. Jenny also enjoyed going camping, being on a boat at the lake, watching her favorite TV shows, and going to town to shop and going out to eat. Mamaw was so loved here on earth and will be dearly missed by her family and so many others.
