I have a Zute Suit from the late 90's that was fast-tracked for the Skydive Chicago 300 way attempts in '98. Wondering if she was involved in its production? Condolences to family and friends.

Oh baby girl this is so sad.
I remember when you and your dad came out to East Troy, for your birthday to learn to jump together. It was like the air had waited for you to join it. Graceful and gentle in the air. When you were on a load, you did your part without drama or concern. When you went to other DZ', boggie's, para ski meets, you fit in like you had always been there.
The only time I ever heard you say a bad word was when you got a jump suit and it didn't fit. You said, "Guys don't know anything about crotches" It still makes me smile. So you started making jumpsuits yourself.
Love you lady.

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

If it said Zute Suit it was hers. I know she worked her ass off then finishing them up.

I am sorry to hear about this. I remember as being a class act. I have friends who are still jumping Zute Suits after all these years.

My first RW suit was made by her and I am still jumping it. Jenny was a lot of fun to hang out with and jump with.

Jenny got me a slot on my first big way, a 60-way.

This wasn't the first time and it won't be the last - your post made me smile and cry at the same time. Thinking of Jenny has that affect on me.

I miss her more than words can say.

Jack - Your post remembering Jenny was very touching. She was a great woman and great skydiver. The only reason I got on some of the loads I did was because of her.

I remember when Jenny, Patty, Lynn Squire & I went out to Xenia, Ohio for a weekend. We made a bunch of fun jumps and I have never laughed so hard!

Sad news indeed. Jenny was a wonderful woman, mother and a great skydiver. I've owned and jumped many Zute Sutes, including the one she made me for the 400 way. I will fondly think of Jenny each time I slip on my suit.

Missing you still, Jen!

Still missing you, Jin! You've been on my mind quite a bit lately.

I have been out of Skydiving for a number of years and I had lost track of her after the death of her son but she had been in my thoughts, and then I recently came across the very sad news of her death.
I first met Jenny and Marty at east Troy in the winter of 1991. As a newbie with 50 some-odd jumps Jenny was approachable with sound advice from the moment we met. She made my first RW suit, and she invited my on my first big way (6). later we would spend fun times and dives at Skydive Chicago, Eloy, and Quincy. A talented flyer and rigger, she was a wonderful source of information regarding all facets of our sport and continued to make suits and Freefly Pants for me.
One of my fondest memories was her attendance at my wedding to one of my Tandem Students. My Best man and I jumped in prior to the service and Jenny was the only one who showed up early to see and photograph it. I will miss her.

I still miss her and think of her almost every day.

At the DZ she was always approachable and never made anyone feel like a "newbie" she was too good to jump with. Off the DZ she was just as warm and fun to be around- maybe more so. She had a huge heart.

Still think about you little girl.

Not a day goes by that I don't.

You've been gone six years little one. Feels like a thousand.
