Jennie was born in Punxsutawney, PA on October 3, 1911, the daughter of Vincent and Loretta [Schumacker] Simone. She moved with her family to Niagara Falls in 1914.
In 1940, she met Glenzie Webb on a blind date and they were married. On April 19th they celebrated their 66 the wedding anniversary. Jennie was an accomplished accordionist that performed weekly with her band on a popular Canadian radio station in the late 1930's. She was an avid movie buff and belonged to numerous fan clubs to the stars and was one of the original members of the Rudolph Valentino fan club. As a gifted artist, Jennie incorporated her love of nature in to the paintings and stained glass pieces she created.
Jennie is a retired furrier and professional seamstress, who displayed her special talents on, maintaining the Buffalo Bills players uniforms and the clothing of famous stage performers such as Elvis Presley, George Peppard, Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. In her retirement, Jennie enjoyed reading best seller novels, cooking and baking and was always eager to share her secret recipes with us. But above all, Jennie enjoyed spending time with her family and grandchildren and always put them first.
Jennie who often dreamed about becoming a pilot encouraged us to follow our dreams and our hearts and to "live one day at a time".
Her proud children have been blessed to have a mother like Jennie. We appreciate all the sacrifices she made over the years to give us the kind of upbringing and education that have made us better people and parents to our children. We are thankful for her never-ending love, dedication and support. She will be greatly missed and will forever be in our hearts.
