Jennie was born in Fairview Heights, OH, and soon moved with her family to Bay Village, OH. This was the beginning of her love of all things Cleveland, especially the Browns. The family then moved to Chesterfield, MO, in 1984. A graduate of Parkway Central High School, Jennie went on to receive her Associates Degree from Florissant Community College, Bachelor's Degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Master's Degree from Webster University.

She had a fulfilling career as an interpreter for the hearing impaired, serving several school districts and houses of worship. Jennie was a committed advocate for the LGBTQ+ and Deaf Communities, which led to many fulfilling friendships. She was known for her quick wit and humor as well as her love of music.

Family was a priority for Jennie. She was a doting aunt, showering her nieces and nephews with gifts. Also, she was key in organizing several family reunions.
