Bye, Jenny

Posted by Don Zeigler on November 24, 2008

We at ERA Advantage Realty were shocked and saddened to learn that Jennifer Prinzbach, a longtime agent with the company and a great friend to all of us, had passed away suddenly on Friday, November 21. Barely past the 60-year mark, Jenny was always the picture of health and vitality – she exercised regularly and saw her doctor often.

I saw her last on Thursday – she was in the office doing some paperwork, and we chatted as usual about the business and what was going on in our personal lives.

She didn’t answer phone calls or emails Friday afternoon – she had said she was feeling a little under the weather and would stay home to rest, and maybe do some work from her home office.

Her daughter became concerned and drove to her house Saturday morning. She found Jenny upstairs. At this point the authorities are telling us it looks as if she died from natural causes.

Everyone is in a state of grief – the business goes on as usual but it’s hard to work under these circumstances. It’s eerie… we use Yahoo Messenger at all three offices to keep in contact, and everyone on the staff has an account. Jenny is still showing up as being online; no one has shut her computer down yet.

If you knew Jenny in a professional or personal capacity, please think about dropping by Seaver Funeral Home in Princeton on Wednesday between 4 and 6 pm to pay your respects and offer your condolences to her family.

I, for one, will surely miss her. She was a little eccentric and a lot crazy; truly one of a kind.
