Jenna was beautiful, sweet, smart, funny, had the most contagious smile and laugh, and always wanted the best for everyone; but most of all, Jenna was loved. She was loved by so many people. Jenna loved what she did, she worked hard and was so good at making others feel beautiful even if she didn’t always feel beautiful herself.

Jeanna loved her family, her friends, her dogs, and she loved her life. She also loved spending time with her cousin, Brooklyn, doing makeup and telling jokes. She had so much going for her shortly before God called her name including starting a new adventure in Kearney with the love of her life, Dalton Goodenberger.
