Surviving are her children, Sharon (Tom) Harris, of Cuba City, WI, and Russell (Linda Welp) Grant, of Zwingle, IA; five grandchildren, Joshua Haupert, Matthew Lee, Michael (Kayla Ring) Stillmunkes, Kelsey (Jamie) Schroeder, and Kea (Chris) Mueller; Jenanne's great-grandchildren are, Alexis Haupert, Alana McDermott, Peyton, Aubrey and Adalee Schroeder.  She is also survived by two brothers, Norbert (Shirley Kirkpatrick) Foht, of East Dubuque, IL, and Jerry Foht, of Dubuque, IA; three sisters, Pam (Don) Rolling, Debbie (Mike) Lightfoot, of Dubuque, IA, and Carol Foht, of Portland, OR; two brothers-in-law, Jack Foht, of Dubuque, IA, Terry (Gail) Grant, of Guttenburg, IA; a sister-in-law, Jean Grant, of Clinton, IA; as well as many nieces and nephews.
