Known as Jenny to her family and Jae to her friends, she was born in Atlanta on November 21, 1966.

She had a loving heart, was whip smart, and had a keen sense of humor. She was well known by her friends and family for the online posts of her rants, wit, wisdom, and general observations. We all know how much better and more entertaining this obituary would be if she had followed her Father's example and written her own!

She was a Board Member of the Conyers/Rockdale Council for the Arts and a supporter of Bella Musica Music Studio. These are but a few of the things that made her very, very special. She will be missed by so many. This world has lost a beautiful person.
