Jennie attended Trinity United Methodist Church in Keokuk.

Jennie was also a lifelong quilter, in addition to family gifts providing several quilts for community raffles.

Most importantly, she devoted her life to her family. Jennie is survived by her husband Ron Scott of Keokuk; three children: Susan Elizabeth (Doug) Cline of Johnston, Iowa, Brian Keith (Kellie) Scott of Ankeny, Iowa, and Sarah Lynn (Adam) Schultz of Boone, Iowa; her daughter-in-law Catherine Scott of Des Moines, Iowa; seven grandchildren: Mitchell (Kelsey) Cline of Carmel, Indiana, Christopher (Callie) Cline of Des Moines, Iowa, Jacob (Fiancé Kathryn LeRoy) Scott of West Des Moines, Iowa, Michael Scott of Ankeny, Matthew Scott of Ankeny, Vincent Schultz of Boone, and Beatrix Schultz of Boone; and two great-grandchildren: Collins and Leona Cline of Carmel, Indiana.

Jennie was preceded in death by her son Martin Scott, her parents, her two brothers and a sister.
