Obituary

Heaven gained a beautiful angel early in the morning of March 31st, known as Jennifer "Jenny" Lynn (Wink) Rohrs, age 48. She unexpectedly passed away at her residence. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and dedicated educator.

Jenny was born on June 4, 1977 in Evansville, IN to her loving parents, Linda & Scott Wink. She graduated from Reitz Memorial High School in Evansville, IN and went on to attain both a Bachelors and Masters degree in education from Western Kentucky University, which laid the foundation for her remarkable career in education. Jenny was a cherished Special Education Teacher having devoted 20 years of her life to shaping young minds at Adairville Elementary and Franklin Elementary. She loved teaching. She adored her kids and they did her. Her passion for teaching and dedication to her students was recognized by all who knew her. She was a member of Chi Omega Sorority and also the KY Teachers Association and shared her enthusiasm for learning with her colleagues and students.

Jenny married the love of her life, Ben Rohrs on March 29, 2008. They had just celebrated their 18th anniversary. Her biggest love of her life was when she became a mother to Madelyn Rohrs. She was so proud of her and would do anything for Madi. Jenny was also the best dog mom ever. Rory made her so happy and she loved taking her on walks. Outside of her professional life, Jenny found joy in gardening and spending precious moments with her family and treasured the times spent shopping with her daughter, Madelyn Rose, and watching her volleyball games.
