Jean loved flowers and maintained a large flower garden for many years. She made many cross-stitched items for her home and for her children and grandchildren over the years. She loved poetry and one of her favorite quotes was by Edwin Markham – "There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we send in to the life of others comes back into our own." She loved music and was a member of the O'Fallon Methodist Church Chancel Choir for 26 years. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, playing bridge, and was an avid Cardinal fan.

Two sisters survive Mrs. Eileen Harrison and Mrs. Frances Herrmann, both of Marshall, Missouri, as well as seven nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William (Bill) Jenner, in 2002, and her parents, four brothers-in-law, and two sisters-in-law.
