Full Obituary

Jenny Dawn Ward (Radcliffe), age 36, had her life taken in a senseless act of violence on Saturday July 30, 2016 in Eau Claire, WI.
Jenny, better know as Jenn, was born on December 7, 1979 in Marshfield, WI. She was married on January 19, 2002 to Brian Ward and is survived by her husband, her daughter, Maranda Lee Ward (14), and her son Nathan Dean Ward (11).
Jenn graduated from Chippewa Falls High School in 1998 and went on to get a degree from Globe University as a Paralegal. She was currently employed at Lorman Education Services. Because of her love for children, she took in her nieces and nephews and many friends in an in-home daycare that she ran with her best friend Stephani Shellenberger. When her own children were in school, Jenn worked and managed many retail stores at Oakwood Mall, including Zales, becoming the family jewelry expert. Jenn was a big-hearted, caring daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. She always took the time to care for others and was often the  life of the party. You always knew when Jenn arrived. She had many hobbies which included, cooking for her family, reading, watching movies, writing, painting and creating works of art with wood pallets in her spare time,
Jenn was an active participant and volunteer at Loyal's Annual Corn Fest. She competed in the bean bag tournament and looked forward each year to bartending at the event to serve family and friends in the area.
Family was very important to Jenn. You could always find her in the action, playing cards and games, singing and challenging her siblings for the charade champion title.
