RIP Jenny. Condolences to all the family. Jenny was an awesome lady. She married us in 2019 in the Silks Lounge, Awapuni Racecourse. Jenny also was a part of my late mum's life during her time in PN Hospital many years ago when Jenny was Chaplain there. Jenny also took the funeral of my husband Stews late wife Ngaire. Jenny was a very professional person in what she did. She will be sadly missed.

Jenny and Rowley were great friend with our mum and dad Sheila and Daniel Butler. We used to live in the same street. While they were away during the summer holidays we used to look after the house and feed the chocks. Very social and very kind lady. Rest In Peace.

My association with Jenny goes back to her days as chaplain at Palmerston North hospital in the 1990's. Personally, she held my hand in ED after a car accident, she married us in our garden and guided my family and led the service when my beloved mum (also a Jenny) passed away. Her capacity for compassion and approach to life and those she came into contact with was truly unique. She crossed denominations and judged no one.... Arohanui ki te whanau, you and many others were truly blessed to have had this miharo wahine toa in your lives
