Jennie devoted her entire life to her family. She loved to work, but did not consider it work as long as she was surrounded by her family. She began working on the family fruit farm in Marlboro, NY. After her marriage, she moved to Tampa, Fl with her husband Jimmie, where she became the secretary and bookkeeper for the family business, Maple Lane Cattle Company. Jennie established and operated a fish and poultry market in Ybor City. She loved to cook and prepare meals for her family and found time to attend school functions and help her children with schoolwork when needed. Jennie was a past member of the Temple Terrace Garden Club and the Sons of Italy. One of her hobbies was fishing. She also loved to play poker and dominoes with family and friends. She enjoyed cruising and traveling with her soulmate, Jimmie, and their friends. She was the matriarch of the family and will be greatly missed. Jennie was a member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church and attended Mass regularly.
