To all of Jena’s family I would like to extend my condolences in their loss. As an employee of Wooster hospital I remember when Steve and Jena dated and then married. They were so excited to welcome their first child and those to follow. Their family was everything to both of them. Jena was an excellent nurse and took care of her patients with a cheery demeanor. She will certainly be remembered by many as the lovely person we once knew.
To Jena’s family. I am truly sorry for your loss. Jena was my nurse and an excellent one! I will always remember her kind demeanor and that smile on her face. She will not be forgotten.
Jena was a lovely woman and a great mom to her daughters, I was at her home often when Hannah and I were young, and I don’t remember ever hearing a cross word from her, it’s so sad to see such a lovely soul leave this world. My condolences are with Hannah and the rest of Jenna’s family at this time.
I worked with Jena for a number of years. She was an excellent, hardworking nurse who showed real concern for our patients. The patients really liked her and appreciated her care. My condolences to her family.

My heart goes out to the family specially an elementary friend Hannah& her sister Sara ! She was a great mom 🩷 I’m honored to be a part of her life 🩵
I worked with Jena for several years at Cleveland Clinic Wooster and enjoyed that time. She loved her family and talked about her girls and Steve daily! I am so sorry for your loss.
Sara and Hannah, I knew Jena through Girl Scouting and school events. She was always crafting something and loved showing her skills to the scouts. I considered her a wonderful, warm and gentle friend. She loved her family deeply, and was a joy to be around.
