Throughout her life, she was devoted and served in various ministries before finding a spiritual home at Word of God Church and Ministries International, Columbia, SC. Her heart was always with Word of God, where she remained a committed member, attending services faithfully until her health declined.

Jenny attended Sumter County Public Schools. She graduated from Furman High School, Class of 1974, where she was a majorette and proud supporter of school actiities. She attended Columbia Junior College where she earned an Associate's Degree in Secretarial Science, and later Midlands Technical College.

From her youth, Jenny was ambitious. She was always excited about her work and was consistently diligent in all that she put her mind and hands to. There was never a pause in her endless occupational pursuits.

As a former military spouse to Herman McCuien, Jenny enjoyed her travels to different states and countries where she met life-long friends.

She was passionate about each of them, especially working with children and home-bound patients, providing the nurturing and care they needed, including sharing her excellent culinary skills with them.

Jenny generously gave her time, gifts, and support to others whenever there was a need. She enjoyed many simple pleasures which included the beauty and smells of fresh flowers, shopping, chatting with friends, and especially spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she cherished dearly and absolutely adored.
