Jenna Clare Rich's Obituary
RICH, Jenna Clare, age 27, of Waynesville, passed away Sunday, July 31, 2022.
A lifelong resident of Clinton County, Jenna attended Clinton Massie Local Schools and graduated from the Warren County Virtual Academy in 2012. Furthering her education, she earned an Associates Degree in Business Management from Sinclair Community College. Jenna’s goal was to continue her education by earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. She was recently employed at JBM Corp. of South Lebanon. She was also a member of the Antioch Church in the Countryside YMCA.
Independent, loving, generous, and caring, Jenna was a born leader, made friends quickly with a socially active personality, and was goal driven. Her priorities in life were spending quality time with family and friends, reading, and faith in God. She especially enjoyed reading the classics and always loved reading books with her aunt so they could discuss the literature afterward. She also enjoyed enhancing her faith in God by focusing on Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life, thereby living her life via the selected thoughts and scriptures discussed in the book. Birthdays in her family were always special, which Jenna thoroughly enjoyed. She always helped prepare, cook, and decorate whenever it was a special day for her family member. She was an excellent cook and took great pride in making something creative and different. Lately, however, she had become health conscious and spent a great deal of time exercising and creating healthy meals, which she was proud of. Jenna had a lot to be proud of in her life, but her relationship with her father gave her the most pride. The youngest of four children, especially the only daughter, definitely made her a daddy’s girl and best friends. Among many things, she will be remembered for how much she loved her clothes and accessories. She especially enjoyed shopping for bargains and giving clothes and accessories to her family and friends as gifts.
She is survived by her parents, Russell Rich and Deborah Hamilton; three brothers, Justin Rich and his family, Jarrod and his family, and Jordan Rich and his son; grandparents, Barbara and Edward Hamilton; uncle, Christopher Hamilton and his family; uncle, Bob Rich and his family; and her aunt, Rayenell Friend. Her paternal grandparents, Raymond “Bunk” and Nellie Rich, and uncle, Arnold Friend, preceded her death.
Funeral services will be held at 11:30 AM Wednesday, August 3, at Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville. Burial will be in Miami Cemetery, Corwin. Steve Newman will be officiating the services. The family will receive friends 10:00 - 11:30 AM Wednesday at the funeral home. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
