She graduated from Platteville High School in 2001 and attended college at UW-Platteville, NICC, UW-Oshkosh and most recently UW- Milwaukee. Jenni touched hundreds of lives caring for and advocating on behalf of those experiencing mental illness. She worked for several years at Winnebago Mental Health and more recently at St. Elizabeth’s in Appleton.

To say that Jenni will be missed does not begin to describe the light that is now missing in the lives of her husband Tory; her parents Tim and Terri Dietzel and Kathy and Todd Erstad; her sisters Kris (Jason) Kessler and Sam (Tim) Ornes; nieces, Abbie, Jillian, Natalie, Josie and Lena; Tory’s children Courtney (Brandon) Seston, Noah Harmuth and Hailey Harmuth; her step-granddaughter, Theo and her mother-in-law, Lisa. Her grandparents Marie Dietzel, Jean and Terry Cleary, Bob and Janeen Wernimont, and Dennis and Carol Erstad and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
