Condolences to the family. Jenny was a wonderful student in the Horticulture classes I took. I never left empty handed after a visit to her and Bill.

Jenny was my home even teacher at Timaru College for 3 years and lived in our street. She was an excellent teacher and instilled in me a love for cooking that remains today. I remember the dining room where we had an opportunity to cook a 3 course meal for invited guests. Joanne and I invited the Zapps. We cooked a trout baked in cider- which I procured from my neighbour. The recipe only required one cup and do the rest was drunk at the school dance that night! Great memories of Jenny. Lorraine.

Deepest sympathies to the Moore family. Mrs Moore was the beginning of my food passion, she wrote a reference for my first job!! Stayed in the Pastry & bread industry for 21 years, but her enthusiasm rubbed off on my enthusiasm and it was always a pleasure to be in home ec

We were very privileged to have Jenny as our neighbour. She was such a kind and caring lady, giving advice on the garden and sharing cuttings etc. She made the best scones as the guys laying our concrete next to her will indeed voucher for. Rest in peace Jenny. Thinking of Jenny's family at this very sad time.
