Jennifer Elizabeth Hess Koenemann

Jennifer Elizabeth Hess Koenemann, 35, of Liberty Township, OH died suddenly on Tuesday, May 16.

Born in Charleston, SC in 1982, Jenni was the only child of Barbara and Robert Hess. She was a 2000 graduate of Wando High School in Mt. Pleasant, SC.  An avid music lover, she played flute, marched in high school and collegiate marching bands, and studied music education at the University of South Carolina (Bachelor of Music, 2004) and Michigan State University (Master of Music, 2006).  She taught elementary music for twelve years in East Lansing, MI, Charleston, SC, Louisville, KY, and Cincinnati, OH.  Jenni was a loving, devoted and caring wife and daughter whose brave, strong, and kind spirit allowed her to keep a positive outlook and to be an inspiration to those around her. As an devoted animal lover, she displayed great affection for her cats and her dog. She demonstrated her love for others through many acts of kindness, and her sassy and witty personality lit up every room. Jenni was a voracious reader, dear friend, and an outspoken student advocate.
