IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Kimberly Lynn Jenss, age 42, Oshkosh, passed away peacefully on the evening of Valentine's Day, February 14, 2024, at Cherry Meadows Hospice in Appleton, after a long illness. She was born to parents, A. James and Bonnie (Mowery) Jenss on October 17, 1981, at Theda Clark, Neenah.
After graduating from Winneconne High School, Kim went to Madison Area Technical College for graphic arts. She then came back and completed an apprenticeship program with Mary Kohlbeck- owner of A Cut Above Salon, Oshkosh. After Kim received her Cosmetology Degree, she continued to work for Mary at A Cut Above for 18 years, until the salon closed in 2021. Mary, Deb and the entire A Cut Above family were very dear to Kim.
Kimberly's son Malik was born in 2007, and Kim was so proud of him and loved him so much. A little later, Kim met her special friend John Boe and he was her loving life partner for her remaining adult years. When Malik was young, they made memories together by taking long walks, stopping at the Menominee Park Zoo, and fishing on the river with John.
Kimberly enjoyed cooking weekly dinners for her family, watching cooking shows, movies, and football games with John. They also enjoyed going to the casino. Kim was very artistic and loved to draw, work with fresh and silk flowers and do crafts. She was also a gifted piano player in her younger years. Kim will be remembered for her beautiful smile and sense of humor.
She is survived by her son, Malik Jenss; mother, Bonnie Jenss; sister Kristy (Matt) Krempien; nephew, Collin; niece, Quinn all from Winneconne; significant other, John Boe, Oshkosh; half-brother, Dean Jenss; nephew, Cody Jenss; half-sister, Lori (Kevin) Allcox, Winneconne; special friends, Valerie, Mary and Deb Kohlbeck; and many other friends. Kim is also survived by a special aunt, Vickie Markel; special cousins, Bob (Shanna) Burns, Lexie Larson, Travis Burns, Bryce Burns, Callie (Daniel) Knitt, Evy Burns, Mark Burns and Pyper Burns, Winneconne.
Preceding her in death was her father, Alvin "Jimmy" Jenss; infant sister, Kelly Jenss; grandparents, Lil and Al Jenss; Royce and Doris Mowery; and "uncle" Jim Boatright.
A Celebration of Life and family graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, any memorial contributions will go towards her son, Malik's Edvest College Fund.
The family would like to thank the ThedaCare Hospice team (Kathleen, Kelly, and Tonya), and Cherry Meadows (Roberta, Stephanie, Karen, and Brock) for their excellent care and compassion during this difficult time. Bonnie would like to personally thank her dear daughter Kristy, for taking such wonderful care of Kim during these last few months. In addition, Bonnie would like to thank her dear sister Vickie Markel, for all her love and support to the family. Much love and deep gratitude to you both.
Though her beautiful smile is gone forever and her hand we cannot touch, still we have so many memories of the one we loved so much. Her memory is our keepsake, with which we will not part; God has her in His keeping and we have her in our hearts. - Author Unknown
