Thursday, November 22, 2018, loving mother and grandmother Jenna Lea Stringer Willbern passed on at the age of 88. Jenna was born on March 18, 1930 in Bryans Mill, Texas to Ted and Faye Stringer.  She grew up in east Texas graduating from Gladewater High School and Kilgore Junior College.  After college she worked as a secretary for many years. She married Earle Willbern on January 29, 1966 and it was not long after that they began their family. Together they raised two daughters, Leslie and Marcie.

Jenna was a passionate, spirited person who loved laughing and having fun. She was happiest when she was around other people, whether it was spending time with her family, playing bridge, or going to lunch with friends. She loved emailing, reading, and meeting new people. She had many hobbies, most notably she was an accomplished quilter and oil painter. She had a quick wit, strong opinions, not a shy bone in her body, and she was known for being generous to a fault. She was quick to help those in need, whether it be her family, someone she barely knew or anyone in between. She knew what it was to do without and when she was able she wanted to help others. She will be remembered, cherished and missed by innumerable family and friends.

Jenna is survived by daughter Leslie Boling and husband Mike, daughter Marcie Rolandt and husband Jon, daughter Sherri Emerson, grandchildren Lorilee Bergman and husband John, Matthew Emerson, Ryan Boling, Sara Strickland and husband Daniel, Trey Boling, Anna Boling, Jessica Rolandt and Jacob Rolandt and great grandchildren Mason Bergman, Jason Bergman, Dawson Bergman and Isaac Strickland.
