BRYAN, OH – Jennavieve Ebersole, age 16, of Bryan, passed away tragically on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, the result of an automobile accident.
She was born September 1, 2007, in Wauseon, Ohio, the daughter of Eric Ebersole and Michelle (Lawson) Wasson. Jenna recently completed her sophomore year at Bryan High School.
Jenna effortlessly captivated hearts with her free-spirit and her great appreciation for humor. She loved to laugh as much as she loved to make others laugh, often followed by her self-proclaimed expression, “I’m so funny.”
She had a contagious energy about her and despite her age, was always the most strong-willed, spontaneous, adventurous, and determined person in any room.
Her life was consumed by the countless friendships that blessed her, she lived for her family as well, a devoted aunt to many nieces and nephews. She spoke of them with such great joy which was often followed by her infectious smile causing her eyes to disappear.
She adored them deeply as they brought out her tender side. She also had a special place in her heart for her beloved canine companions. Jenna leaves behind a legacy of living life to its fullest.
As we grieve the loss of a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, and friend, please be reminded that life is a gift, and to never take a single moment for granted. Jenna will be held tightly forever in her family’s hearts.
