Jennifer "Jenny" Christine Hood

Jenny was born December 3rd, 1973 in Kansas City, MO. She was the most caring and loving person. If you ever needed anything, she worked hard to try to make sure that you got that. Jenny was the person that couldn’t ever pass up a bargain, whether it be the clearance aisle, a $1 t-shirt from the thrift store, or a garage sale. When she got furniture from those bargains she scored, she would refinish them and try to give them to anyone that needed it. That’s why she loved shopping so much. She could then get something for a good price and give it to those that need it. Jenny was the light of the party and would light up almost any room she walked into. Especially when you walked into her home. You would feel so welcome and got the pleasure of seeing an absurd amount of apples and pigs. The pigs and apples weren’t what made it home to her, it was her children. Her children meant everything to her until she had grandchildren. They were her life and what made her happy.
