Jenna Nicole Warford, 34, of Huntertown, Indiana, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.



Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Jenna was the beloved daughter of Howard and Chrisdeana Welch, who survive her. A proud member of her community, Jenna worked as a teacher's aide at Huntertown Elementary School, where her warmth and humor touched the lives of so many students and families. She was a faithful member of Pathway Community Church, where she was also baptized.



Jenna had a passion for creativity- she loved crafting and proudly ran her own t-shirt LLC. She cherished time with her best friends, especially nail dates and laughter-filled days. But her greatest joy was her family. Jenna was a constant presence at her sons' soccer and baseball games, always cheering them on alongside her husband, Derek. She was a force- full of life, humor, strength, and endless love.



Jenna is survived by her husband, Derek Warford, and their three sons: Parker, Miles, and Carter Warford. She is also survived by her siblings: Aron (Brittany) Welch, Amanda Peppler, Shelby Welch, Dayna Welch, and sister-in-law Jennifer Husband.
