Jenny leaves behind her two loving sons, Henry Gormly III, William Gormly, her granddaughter Susan Barlow and her husband, Charles, her great-granddaughter, Katie Barlow, her sister-in-law, Anna Czerwonka and many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents and husband, Henry, Jenny was predeceased by her siblings, Salvatore, Carmella, Theresa, Armando and Evelyn.

The family would like to give a special thank-you to Visiting Nurse Home & Hospice for their continuous care of their mother, and to the doctors and nurses at the Linden Tree Family Health Center and South Coast Health Groups.
