| Death | She died on 4 December 1936 at Arkona, Lambton County, at age 74. |
| Burial | She was buried on 6 December 1936 at Arkona Cemetery, Arkona, Lambton County. |
| Note | Jennie's death registration, for which her daughter Lillie was the informant, gives her date of birth as July 23, 1862. This would make her rather older than her age as shown in the 1871 census, 6, but comes close with her marriage registration and with later census years. Just where Jennie and her family were at the time of the 1901 census isn't clear, but by 1911 they were in Arkona in Lambton County and appear to have been there for the rest of their days.
