Jenna was dedicated to her children, nieces and nephew, family and friends. She loved her children, sisters and parents very intensely. Jenna deeply mourned the loss of her mother in July of 2012 and never fully healed from the sorrow. She had a unique relationship with her aunt Vivian and they spent many memorable days together. She had a special affection for her gran Eleanor whom she lived with for a short time. Jenna missed her home community of Lake St. Martin and welcomed the day when she could return home. She was born in The Pas, Manitoba to the great joy of her mother Cindy and grandmother Eleanor. She was so very helpful to everyone whenever she could. She had a marvelous smile and loved to laugh. The family wishes to express special thanks to Interlake Reserves Tribal Council, Chief and Council and staff of Lake St. Martin First Nation and Health Centre, Daphne Gould, as well as numerous family and friends for their many acts of kindness during this difficult time. The family also wishes to thank Dr. Bell and Dr. Olafson, Aboriginal Services worker Matilda and the staff of the ICU at St. Boniface General Hospital for their kindness and care.
