Gilbert, AZ (formerly of Racine) – Jenny L. (nee: Petersen) Peterson, age 45, passed away unexpectedly on April 1st, 2017.

Jenny was born in Racine, WI on October 26, 1971 to Jack and Rosealee (nee: Ball) Petersen. A 1989 graduate of Waterford High School, she proudly earned her Registered Nurse degree from Gateway Technical College in 2015. She was currently employed by Banner Healthcare as an oncology nurse in Arizona.

On August 7, 2004 in Racine, Jenny was united in marriage with Raymond J. Peterson. Sadly, Ray passed away of cancer on April 12, 2016. Shortly after, Jenny moved her family to Gilbert, AZ.

Among her interests, Jenny enjoyed spending time with her boys, family and friends. Jenny had knack for decorating and made a home in Arizona that she loved to have family and friends visit as often as possible. Jenny also had a passion for Disney and traveling and on several occasions she combined the two by taking her boys to Disney theme parks as well as Disney Cruises. After moving to AZ, she discovered a joy of hiking and would hike the trails usually with one of her boys for company.

Surviving are her wonderful boys, Christian, Kaleb, Zachary, Connor and Cameron; parents, Jack and Rose Petersen; sister, Tina Petersen; nieces, Brittany (Russell) Rouse & family and Alice (Richie) Garcia & family; many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

Jenny supported cancer research being a survivor herself so in lieu of flowers donations to the American Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
