This is horrible devistating news. I’m so sad about this I can’t even think of what to say.
This is so sad. My heart goes out to her family.
Oh, Jesus, crap, no. No. No.
God, that’s such a blow to our community - best condolences to her family.
Ah, shit.
Oh my God.
Thank you, Jenny, for everything you’ve done here.
This is so very, very sad. RIP, Jenny. You will be sorely missed.
It’s a little colder in here now.
R.I.P. Jenny.
I had emailed her not too long ago about merging this account with my name from the old board (Odesio), and I was wondering why it hadn’t been changed it yet. Even though she was in the middle of taking care of a bunch of problems, she found the time to email me and was so very nice. I’m sorry to hear she passed.
I certainly did not expect this news when I logged in, at first I thought it was some stupid joke, but no. I am stunned and grieving. Jenny, thank you for your friendship, and the funny emails. You were such a groovy kind of woman, and I truly will miss you. Blessings, dear.
I had a “conversation” with her last week. So glad I got to express appreciation for the "new"site. And I was relieved to look back and see that I used the words “Thank you”…
Was this her husband? If so, he died a year and a half ago.

No, far too young. Jenny was a senior citizen.
Words fail me. I’ve known Jenny since 1999 through the boards and she has been a steady, constant presence here. This is truly heartbreaking. To her friends and family I can only say I’m sorry. This is a tremendous loss.
Oh, good. Thanks, Jonathan. Everyone else stay healthy!
I absolutely thought this was a joke. Then I thought, “Did we put too much work on her, with the board transfer?”
Word is, she was practically working 24 hr days emailing people.
She poured herself into this place. What a legacy!
Oh no! This is awful. I wish I knew her better.
Sincere condolences to her friends and family. Please let us know if there is somewhere we can donate in her honor and/or send flowers.
We are now rudderless and pilotless.
Jenny. My friend. We were going to meet when we passed through Atlanta last year. I couldn’t make it work. God, I wish now I would have worked harder to make it work.
We had been friends since 1999. I was one of the first members on the old site and Jenny and I became internet friends. She hired me as a moderator in 2004. Our phone conversations were legendary and I loved her sense of humor and quiet intelligence.
She had a stroke a while back which affected her speech. The only thing I noticed was that our phone calls became a bit longer.
I’ll always love my TubaJenny. Rest, my friend. You done good. We’ll take it from here.
Ric
Tragic news, indeed!
I really feel like I want to do something. If one of the mods thinks it would be appropriate, maybe a GoFundMe? I’m not saying her family needs money, but it could be donated to a cause she favored or put a memorial bench somewhere or plant a tree. It would be one loving gift from the Dope as a group.
I think that would be an excellent idea, @ThelmaLou.
Lighting a candle in her honor as the light she brought to this world is immeasurable.
