On Tuesday, January 3, 2023, Kathy (Vogelsang) Jenner, loving mother and grandmother, passed away at the age 70.
Kathy was born on February 29, 1952 in Batesville, IN to Charles and Dorothy (Zimmer) Vogelsang. On January 30, 1971, she married Wayne Jenner. They raised two sons, Neil and Evan in their hometown of Sunman.
Being a Leap Year baby, Kathy was quick to point out that she was still a “teenager” in her later years and very young at heart. Her favorite past time was shopping at yard sales and attending the occasional auction. This is where she developed her skill of negotiation and bargain hunting as well as her entrepreneurial spirit which she carried through several career paths. She began in the insurance industry from the early 70’s up through the mid 90’s, she co-founded a vending business with her son Evan and had a successful career in the local real estate market the past few years. Kathy was the family’s in- house travel agent always planning for the next family trip and developing itineraries to ensure her family was able to make fond memories of each adventure. In the event one’s memory may not be as good, she was also the family photographer and story book writer in the family photo albums to help provide context to the pictures. In addition, Kathy enjoyed spoiling her grandchild and had a way of making each one feel loved and special. When it came to the holidays, Christmas was her number one priority. Her decorating would rival that of any department store or Hallmark Christmas movie. Thankfully Kathy was fortunate enough to enjoy this special time with her loved ones one last time before she was called to heaven.
Kathy was preceded in death by her father, Charles, and her mother, Dorothy. She is survived by her children, Neil (Angela) Jenner and Evan (Leanne) Jenner, her brother Tom Vogelsang, six grandchildren Hailey, Brody, Zachary, Charles, Annalyn, Henry and former husbands Wayne (Janet) Jenner and Ray Duty.
