White, and her Poppy, Edward Creeron.   Jenna will be remembered for her admiration and deep love for creative arts, including her love of literature.  She had a special gift for creative writing, keeping journals throughout her life.  Her dream was to one day publish a book of all the poetry she had composed.  After a school trip to Europe, she had hoped to one day travel the world to experience the cuisine and customs of other countries.    Jenna enjoyed her time spent at home, whether it was curled up with a good book or surrounded by her beloved dogs Bree and Harley, listening to her favorite band Blackmores Night and late night snacking on her favorites:  Chinese beef, mushroom & zucchini, cosmic brownies,  cheese balls & ramen noodles.   She loved “not getting up early” and often would count down the days until she would be able to sleep in late.      Jenna enjoyed gardening and was good at it.  She liked to get her hands dirty, nurturing live things including baby chicks & rabbits,  her own tomato plants and the beautiful black iris that grace the front yard.  She also loved lazy days in the summer and being “girly” getting her hair and nails done.  She loved relaxing around the Koi pond, contemplating life and finding peace within her own space where she would get lost in the beauty of nature and write in her journals for hours.  Time spent with family was one of her most cherished pastimes.  She especially loved holidays and trimming the tree, which for her, was a green tree air freshener.  She exclaimed, “this is by far my most favorite tree of all time”. The side of Jenna that was silly, fun and goofy.  On days that Jenna would be acting “goofy” she would say “that’s why you love me, everyone needs a little goofy in their lives”.   Jenna was a member of the Greater Auburn Pool League, playing for many years and improving her game at home with her dad on their custom pool table.   The loving, caring side of her is what we will remember and miss most about our Jenna Marie.  She never failed to reach out to others who needed a kind word or support to get through difficult days.  She touched the lives of so many with her quick wit, smile and humanity towards others.  She will never be forgotten and will live on in our hearts and memories.
