Jenny grew up in Middle Tennessee and received her formal education from John A. Gupton College in Nashville, Tennessee, where she earned a degree in mortuary science and funeral arts. After graduation, Jenny spent many years at Tennessee Donor Services, guiding families through the donation process. Jenny has worked in funeral homes as a funeral director, embalmer, and crematory operator. She has managed multiple operations, including a statewide cremation platform. Her compassionate, down-to-earth care was highlighted in American Funeral Director Magazine. In her role at Larkspur, Jenny uses her extensive industry knowledge, love for the natural world, and care for people to educate and guide folks step by step through the natural burial process.
