Gilbert, AZ (formerly of Racine) – Jenny L. (nee: Petersen) Peterson, age 45, passed away unexpectedly on April 1st, 2017.

Jenny was born in Racine, WI on October 26, 1971 to Jack and Rosealee (nee: Ball) Petersen. A 1989 graduate of Waterford High School, she proudly earned her Registered Nurse degree from Gateway Technical College in 2015. She was currently employed by Banner Healthcare as an oncology nurse in Arizona.

On August 7, 2004 in Racine, Jenny was united in marriage with Raymond J. Peterson. Sadly, Ray passed away of cancer on April 12, 2016. Shortly after, Jenny moved her family to Gilbert, AZ.

Among her interests, Jenny enjoyed spending time with her boys, family and friends. Jenny had knack for decorating and made a home in Arizona that she loved to have family and friends visit as often as possible. Jenny also had a passion for Disney and traveling and on several occasions she combined the two by taking her boys to Disney theme parks as well as Disney Cruises. After moving to AZ, she discovered a joy of hiking and would hike the trails usually with one of her boys for company.

Surviving are her wonderful boys, Christian, Kaleb, Zachary, Connor and Cameron; parents, Jack and Rose Petersen; sister, Tina Petersen; nieces, Brittany (Russell) Rouse & family and Alice (Richie) Garcia & family; many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends.

Jenny supported cancer research being a survivor herself so in lieu of flowers donations to the American Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
