She further refined those skills at culinary school. One of her favorites was to bake 100s of Christmas cookies, which filled many tins and trays to share and bring joy to others. Jen had many passions, from the love of animals, grey boys at the pony track, to golfing on vacation, Vegas and Ft. Myers for spring training.
