Jennie Gerner Barrett MacGrogan, 1917-2009

We lost our Grandmom late Wednesday night. She passed quietly from what I understand, having slowly deteriorated for the past several months. She lived with my family for most of my life, and was always quietly strong. I was very fortunate to make a trip to see her last year while she still knew who I was (most of the time). We played bingo at her senior center and went out to lunch, something we always did when I visited her. She loved games, and usually had a deck of cards or a puzzle within arms reach. She and my Grandpop, who died in 1982, were always my favorites. I hope they are together now.

Jennie, 20 years old


Cy and Jennie, how I always see them in my mind's eye. 1977
