Memorial Service for Jennie Peterson
Picture
Jennie Peterson transitioned peacefully on August 2, 2021.
All who met Jennie were immediately drawn to her radiant smile, quick wit, warm heart and gentle spirit.
Filled with a joy for life, she was always interested and interesting, enlightened and engaged,
generously giving of her time and energy to people, organizations and causes.
We come together to honor her life and legacy.


A memorial service for Jennie is scheduled on Thursday, September 2, 2021, at 1:00 pm. via Zoom.

Informal talk story and sharing about Jennie (online) ~
Winston Welch moderator

* Speaking to Jennie ~ This part of the ceremony is an opportunity for those so moved
to honor Jennie by offering incense and speaking briefly and directly to her
(rather than speaking about her in the third person). In this way we acknowledge
our fundamental interdependence ~ how each of us has been changed forever by knowing Jennie
and how she lives on in each of us. Time won’t permit everyone joining us online
to take part in this element of the program but we especially encourage family and close friends to do so.
