A collection of Jenny’s memories and life were recently published in her book, “Jenny’s Family Treasures Cookbook”, which was a dream-come-true for her. Of her many interests, Jenny loved being with her family, particularly her grandkids, more than anything. Jenny and Perry raised three children, Bunny Sue (Tim) Sheehy of New Philadelphia, Butch (Cindy) Myers of Strasburg, and Buffy (Travis) Hostetler of Sugarcreek.
