Jennie loved the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team which she and her dad would compare stats on the team members. This tradition continued after her dad's passing, when Jeannie and her brother would then start sharing about baseball while she continued to cheer for the Dodgers and "Big One" cheered for the Phillies. One of her favorite past times was shopping at the malls or on HSN. She attended Cecil Tabernacle in Williamstown, NJ presided by Pastor Reverend Willie J. Fletcher. Jennie never had children however she loved her nieces and nephews and treated them as if they were her own.
