Jennie was born in Lowe Farm, Manitoba on January 22, 1941. She lived in Edmonton with her partner where Chuck and Allan were born. Eventually they moved to Aldergrove, British Columbia where Wayne was born. Jennie was involved with the Aldergrove Legion #265 where she was Legion Auxiliary President for a number of years. In 1990 she applied for a job at Dogwood Fur Farms where she met the love of her life George who was working on the family farm. They married in October 11, 1991 and moved to Abbotsford, British Columbia with George’s children Jonathan and Lindsay where they raised them together. Jennie kept busy waitressing and catering for the Legion, where she organized smorgasbords for Legion fundraising and where she was known for her cabbage rolls. In 2001 she went back to work on the farm where she worked side by side with George. In 2008 they purchased a home in Taber and in 2011 she retired to Taber and supervised the renovation of the house. George lived six months of the year on the coast and six months in Taber. Jennie enjoyed baking and making cabbage rolls, she handed out the goodies to friends. She will be sadly missed.
