She died Sunday, Sept. 20, 1998, when she was involved in a car accident near Elburn. Passing in a moment from time into eternity, Jenni stepped from life unto Life and the spirit that so many loved so dearly dances in the Light, one step beyond the limit of our sight.

Jenni was employed at the Elburn Kountry Kettle for several years, where she especially brightened the lives of her senior citizen friends.
