Jeni was born in Houston Texas, attended Horn Elementary, Pershing Middle, and Bellaire High School before graduating with a bachelor's and Master's degrees from UH and then returning to the classroom at Pershing Middle School as a dedicated teacher. She later joined a nonprofit group Houston A+ Challenge to help build stronger teachers and leaders for Houston area schools.
She is proceeded in death by her father, Gary Fowler and survived by husband Ruben Zambrano and his children Ruben Zambrano Jr, Dylan Zambrano, Jessica (Leo) Munoz, foster daughter Laura Hill Bond (Tay), mother and step-father Jean and Gary Pennington, sister Christy Sylvester (Charlie), nephews Will (Murphy) and Jake Sylvester. She is also survived by grandchildren Ruben Zambrano III, Christopher Zambrano and Audrina Munoz.
Jeni was a lifelong member of West University Baptist Church and was passionate in her love of Jesus Christ. The family is very thankful for our friends, family and staff at WUB/Crosspoint Church for their continuous support and prayers throughout Jeni's illness.
In lieu of flowers, Jeni asks that donations be made to Houston A+ or West university Baptist Church.
