She was salutatorian of her graduating class of Wyoming Park High School. Pursuing her passion for education, she obtained a master’s degree in communications from Grand Valley State University where she also spent a career spanning 18 years, most recently with the Undergraduate Nursing Program. Jenn's heart found its counterpart when she met and fell in love with James Palm. They were married almost 15 years and were blessed by the birth of their son, Jackson Orion, their pride and joy. Jenn's life was rich with hobbies. She loved to try different mediums including painting, counted cross stitch and crochet where her skills were unmatched. She blessed so many people with her beautiful creations as she wanted to brighten someone's day or help those having a difficult time. She was preceded in death by her beloved father, Barry; grandparents, Iris Wildey, Marcia and Gerald Wildey, and Robert Irwin. Jenn's memory will be honored by her beloved husband, James; her son, Jackson; grandmother, Janet B. Irwin; mother, Janet E.
