Jenny is survived by her four daughters, Patsy Dominguez, Carol Garcia, Minnie Marquez and Emma Townsend; two brothers, Jose Trujillo and Frank Trujillo; two sisters, Dora Trujillo and Josie Madrid.  Also surviving her are 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grand children and 10 great-great grandchildren.  Jenny was preceded in death by her husband, George, in February of 2008; three brothers, Manuel, Ralph and Joe Trujillo;three sisters, Barbara Trujillo, Sarah Caballero and Matilda Garcia and Daniel "Boonie" Garcia, Jr., and Ralph Marquez.
