July 20, 1953 – May 20, 2013

Jennifer (”Jenny”) Lee Valley Kremers passed away on May 20, 2013 in Indio, CA at the age of 59. Jenny was born on July 20, 1953 in Eugene, OR but spent almost all of her life as a resident of Bend, OR. She married David Kremers on May 4, 1974 and they had just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary. David and Jenny were partners in Bachelor Beverage Distributors, Inc. and High Desert Beverage Distributors, LLC. Jenny was office manager for both businesses and retired in 1999. She was an active member at the Bend Golf and Country Club and the Indian Wells Country Club in Indian Wells, CA. Jenny was also active at Outdoor Resorts Indio where she recently helped organized a glow ball golf tournament in conjunction with a major fund raiser for cancer. Jenny enjoyed following the sun by splitting her living time between Bend, OR and Indio, CA. She also enjoyed cooking, golf, travel, reading, vacationing in Hawaii, spending time with her dog Bandit and was an avid collector of teddy bears. Jenny will be remembered as a sweet, gentle spirit with a heart for serving others and hosting celebrations with family and friends. She left us too early, too young.
