Jennie Renae Wilson was born January 23, 1980, in Grinnell, Iowa.

Jennie attended school in Brooklyn, Iowa, until 3rd grade, and was a 1999 graduate of Pella Community High School. Following school, Jennie enjoyed working for the Christian Opportunity Center workshop.

Jennie was baptized at St. James Lutheran Church in Victor and had her confirmation at Trinity Lutheran Church in Knoxville, Iowa, where she loved to sing and recite the Lord's Prayer.  She loved the people and the fellowship there, and the opportunity to be a candlelighter.

Jennie was a kind, tolerant person who never had a bad word to say about anyone. She had the best smile that would light up a room! Some of her favorite things were: The Beatles, babies and her Persian cat Cuddles.

Those left to honor Jennie's memory are her parents Cherie and Ron  Wauters of Pella,, and Clark and Laurie Wilson, and her siblings:

Christine (Dan) White, Oxford, Iowa

Nick, Sam, Ellie

Stephanie (Bob) Williams, Barrington, Illinois

Bobby, Charlotte

Aaron (Mandy) Wauters, Geneva, Illinois

Will, Nolan

Blaine (Kato) Wauters, Woodruff, Wisconsin

Leighton, Eavan

She is also survived by many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Jennie was preceded in death by her grandparents: Milton and Bernice Cronbaugh, Helen and Achiel Wauters, and Kendall and Madeleine Wilson, aunt Crystal Van Waus and uncle Dennis Moon.

The family would like to give special thanks to staff of

Christian Opportunity Center and Wesley Life for Jennie's care.
