Jennifer “Jenni” Kochis was born to Gertrude Baker Neitzelt September 6,1950 and graduated in 1968 from Barberton High School.  She is a proud mom, grandmother and great-grandmother, an avid reader and, given the chance, would read multiple books in one day if she wanted.  Jenni loved her friends, which is a completely different kind of love, from being a "politicians wives club, to a musical magics mom and always said 3rd times a charm".

Jenni is proceeded in death by her mother, Gertrude Baker Neitzelt; and her father.  She is survived by daughter, Amy (Kochis) and Jason Shuster; Jon and Heather Kochis; her longtime companion, Paul Huber; and his children: Tracy Andrews and Beth (Huber) and Bill Beattie.  Jenni has 10 grandchildren and their spouses; and 5 great grandchildren.  She is also survived by siblings: Judy Massie, Teresa Neitzelt, Candy Neitzelt, Mike Neitzelt and Tom Byrne; and her dogs: Roxi and previously Max.  

Jenni loved her family and there was nothing more important to her than them and always wanted the best and to give them the best.
