She attended Sewickley Academy until she moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, to attend the University of Virginia. After graduating with a degree in Political Science, she returned to Pittsburgh and received her law degree from Duquesne University. It was there that she met her husband, Gene (63). She lived in Edgeworth until her passing.Jen’s enthusiasm for life and those in it led her to be involved in the Sewickley community. She enjoyed cooking, racquet sports, golfing, and spending time with her family and friends. She also loved traveling with her family and friends.

In addition to her activities and travels, Jen was fulfilled by giving her time back to others.
