Jenny was born in Minneapolis, MN and moved to Montclair, CA at 7 months. After returning 4 1/2 years later, she stayed put in the greater metro area. She got into the food industry at 15, and famously got a ride to work during the Halloween blizzard in 1991. She shifted to furniture sales and design around 8 years ago. Her home reflects her craft. Last December, she vacationed in Greece, inspired by the beauty of Santorini and met someone there. She returned in April, but was already feeling the effects of her cancer and treatment.
