Jenny grew up in Stoughton and graduated from Stoughton High School in 1992. She married Kevin John Topp in McFarland on Sept. 5, 1998. They lived in McFarland for a short time then moved to and stayed in Oregon. Kevin and Jenny have two wonderful children, Carson Keith (17) and Emma Ann (11). In addition to her husband, Kevin and their children, Jenny is survived by her parents, Gene and Coleen (Boomer) Draper; brother, Todd and his wife, Becky (Halverson) Draper and their two daughters, Ellie and Kacey; mother-in-law, Kathleen Innis; fathers-in-law, Keith Topp and Thomas Barbian; brother-in-law, Thomas Topp; two fur babies, Gus and Gracie; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Irvin and Catherine Boomer; paternal grandparents, Fay Draper and Laura Bouchard; cousin, Jesse Van DeWiel; uncle, Dale Anderson; and four fur babies, Rex, Tanner, Cole and Lily. A memorial service will be held at NEW HOPE EVANGELICAL FREE CHURCH, 639 S. 8th St., Mount Horeb, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 24, 2017, with a luncheon to follow.

Jenny would like to thank hospice nurse, Heidi Fogo for taking such good care of her and fulfilling her wish to remain at home with her loved ones. Also, Dr. Sam Lubner from the UW-Carbone Cancer Center for providing every possible treatment we could try to extend her life as much as possible. Needless to say, we will all miss Jenny terribly but we are at peace knowing her struggle and pain are over. Her outlook on life was always positive and she never lost her sense of humor. She fought a good fight and was brave until the end. We love you, Jenny. You will be missed more than you know. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

Kevin and kids, I am so sorry for your loss. I I got to know Jenny when we worked together at the credit union years ago. Later on, Jenny watched my daughter, Shyanne, for the summer we she was 7. Jenny always had such a great sense of humor and a great outlook on life. Noone could help but be happy around her. She will be greatly missed!

Kevin, Emma and Carter,
I was so sad to hear of the passing of Jenny. It is hard to believe I met Jenny 9 years ago at OPI when Emma and Alex were at OPI together. Alex had his first birthday party at your house for Emma's 4th birthday. Time sure does fly! Now they will be in 7th grade. I always enjoyed talking with Jenny at OPI and being on committees with her and she always took the time to talk and catch up when I ran into her around town and at school. I will miss her smiling face and will always remember her when I see Emma. Jenny was an amazing lady, and I feel privileged to have known her. I know you will miss her deeply. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you all! Debbie Jordan and Family
