Born in Peoria, Illinois, on May 30th, 1969, Jenny’s life was a testament to her unwavering devotion to her family and her courageous spirit.

Jenny’s infectious laughter and joyous demeanor were her gifts to the world. Her ability to light up a room with her presence was unmatched, and her laughter will echo in the hearts of those who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Allen and Dorothy Tankersley; paternal grandparents, Wayne and Ena Finch; biological father, Gary Finch; niece, Elizabeth Van Dettum.

She is survived by her husband and best friend of 35 years, Ronald Weber; mother, Robyn (Tankersley) Carlson; father, Ross Carlson; son, Patrick Weber of Colorado; daughters, Lindsey (Jeremy) Kirby of Florida, Josie (Travis) Jones of Dunlap, and Nellie Weber of Peoria Heights; granddaughters, Lucy and Susie Jones, whom she adored; brother, Chris (Tammy) Finch of Peoria; sister, Amy (Jim) Van Dettum of Princeville; and brother, Dalton Carlson of Peoria Heights. Jenny also leaves behind several cherished nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.

After a valiant 2 1/2 year battle with colorectal cancer, Jenny chose to donate her body to science, leaving a legacy of hope and contributing to the betterment of future generations.

A memorial visitation will be held from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Sunday, March 24, 2024 at the Davison-Fulton-Woolsey-Wilton Funeral Home in Peoria.
