Jenell Elizabeth Stage
Jenell Elizabeth Stage, age 87 of Fowlerville, died on December 18, 2024 at her home after a long battle with Alzheimer's and Dementia. She was the daughter of Lyle and Marjorie House. She married Rodney Stage on June 28, 1959.
Jenell was a 1955 graduate of Fowlerville High School. After graduating, she worked at Michigan State University in the Registrar's Office until she married Rodney and joined him while he was serving in the Air Force in Oscoda. After Rodney was discharged, they both came home to continue the family dairy farm for over 40 years. After farming, Jenell went to work for the Agricultural Stabilization Office for Livingston County for 10 years.
Jenell loved playing cards, putting puzzles together, watching her grandchildren play sports, camping, quilting, and participating in church activities. She loved going to County Fairs and watching draft horse pulls. Her family and husband were her life. Thank you to our friend Caitlin Fuhst for helping to take care of Jenell.
