SPARKS, Jenny-Lynn – age 49, died Sunday, June 17, 2012 at McLaren Hospital of Flint. She leaves behind many friends and family members that greatly love her, and she will be deeply missed by all of us. She is a graduate of Kearsley High School class of 1981. She was a loving wife and mother and also ran a home day care for almost 20 years. She loved working outdoors in the garden, planting flowers, and spending time at the campfire out back. She also enjoyed riding with her husband on their Harley Davidson motorcycle and enjoying a nice cold beer at the end of the day. She loved listening to music and going to concerts. She had a kind loving heart, especially for animals and will be greatly missed by Gunner the family dog, and Hope and Joy the family cats of 14 years. She always had a positive attitude and would do anything for her loved ones. She very much enjoyed life in itself. And most of all spending time with family.
