It is with our families’ deepest sorrow we announce the death of our beautiful daughter, Jenna Truelove. Jenna was 39 years old, and passed peacefully at home.
Jenna is survived by her mother, Linda Thompson (Bill); father, Steve Truelove (Carolin); and, brother Bryn Truelove (Celina).
Jenna lived courageously, facing life’s challenges with hope. She will be deeply missed by her family who cherished her kind, generous heart and spirit, and the light and joy she brought into our lives. Her kind heart was demonstrated daily by her love of animals especially her beloved dogs Bob, Frankie and Gus. Jenna will be remembered fondly by all those who were lucky enough to share her friendship, and share in her sense of humour and her zest for life.
Jenna’s love of adventure and travel took her throughout Canada, the USA and Europe. Family gatherings included playing cards and having outrageous conversations with laughter that will never be forgotten. Jenna brought her passion for life in everything she did, and she had a strong sense of confidence and determination that was unmatched. She never gave up hope for better things for herself and for those she cared for. Jenna was an inspiration for those who knew her. Our world is a bit smaller now with her loss, but her memory will stay with us forever. A private family ceremony.
Jenna spent time working in Montreal at “Pops”, an organization that helps those living on the streets. Anyone wishing to make a donation in Jenna’s memory can do so at “Pops” at danslarue.org
I'm so sorry to read this. I met Jenna in San Diego, got to know her on both sides of the turn of the century. She was great, a light. So many good memories of her, she was always smiling, so much fun to be around. My deepest sympathies to the family, she always spoke fondly of her family.
Linda we are so sorry for your loss of your daughter may you have peace she is now at rest
Bill, Linda & Bryn. I was saddened to hear of your loss. May the memories you have of Jenna be your beacon of light to sustain you and remind you of how special she was. Teresa
Steve and family, I was just recently told of your daughter’s passing. My sincere condolences on the loss of Jenna. My thoughts will be with you and your family during this difficult time.
I was truly saddened to hear of Jenna's passing. My deepest sympathy.
Our loss of Jenna for our Van Es family is heartbreaking! It doesn’t seem possible or real. I think of her, Bill, Linda and Bryn every minute of the day. We did not get to see her as much as we would have liked due to distance. We had hoped we would have been able to all get together again at the cottage. I remember the last time I spoke to Jenna. It was a year ago at Christmas time. Linda had picked her up from the train and they went Christmas shopping together. I called them while they we’re driving home and I heard the words, “Aunt Bette I love you!” I will always remember and cherish those words fondly. Jenna was a very talented, kind hearted and beautiful woman who will be forever in our hearts and thoughts. Bill, Linda and Bryn we love you all from the bottom of our hearts!

Steve we are sorry to hear about your loss.
Jenna was like magic... Life had greater meaning with Jenna in it, and I appreciated her so goddamn much. I love her like no one else. My thoughts are with you, her family, because there is no consolation.... She was my favourite person for over 15 years...inspiring me, and always looking after me in ways I didn't know I needed - Jenna saw my vulnerability when I thought it was hidden, and made it her mission to protect me. She had such an empathetic heart and a big, hilarious personality. That ridiculous energy ...was nonstop...The laughs I've had with Jenna will remain with me always, and I can't really even imagine what life will be without her. The world will never be the same without her. She meant absolutely everything to me.
Steve My deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of your daughter.
Bill, Linda, Bryn and family: Thinking of you during this difficult time and wishing you strength. Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Kathleen & Rod

To Steve and Carolin Whether it was with the Traveler's or the Oilers riding the back roads during winter making small talk was when I first heard of Jenna and Bryn being such a important part of your life. Those thoughts are what are needed in these times of sadness to bring us through to remember the love that was shared. To all that were a part of Jenna's life we hope that with time a small glimmer of a smile will reappear when you think of Jenna. Wishing you solace and comfort in the days ahead. Doug and Anne Murray

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Jenna's family and friends. Jenna was truly an authentic person. She was very bright and funny. She was also kind and compassionate. She definitely inspired me to take risks, be adventurous and have fun. Being more introverted, I truly admired her. I spent weeks with her at her family cottage on lake Huron, which was a magical place. I feel blessed to have spent the time I did there with her and her family. I remember her and I watching the movie “Beaches” together. I listened to the soundtrack recently and it perfectly suited how I am feeling right now. The song “The Wind Beneath my Wings” stands out as special to me at this time while thinking of her. Thank you for what you’ve taught all of us Jenna. – Amy Waters xo
The last time The Bendecos played Spiderfest Jenna sat on stage with us while we played. I got to know her over the years as fun loving, tough, outgoing, fearless and really cool. She will be missed. Jenna, you're always welcome on our stage. R.I.P.
Our family remembers little Jenna from our life in Campbellford. A sweet child who became a lovely young woman. (St. Mary’s HS). May she Rest In Peace. Thinking of you, Linda, Steve and Bryn at this time and keeping you in our prayers.
Bill and Linda, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for Jenna to be resting in peace. Blessings to you at this difficult time. xoxo
Sorry to hear of your loss Steve and Carolin, my heart goes out to you and your family.
