It has come to my attention that Linda Dettmer would like to let Jennings friends know that her husband Bryce passed away this morning. Bryce was a beloved custodian at Jennings for several years and Linda taught Home Economics. Their children Nikki and Mike are graduates of JHS. Please keep this dear family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate through the days ahead.
