Jennie Barbara Chick Popp, 90, went home to be with The Lord on March 20, 2014 following an extended illness. She was a resident of The Manor at Grande Village in Twinsburg, Ohio.

Born on February 9, 1924 in Youngstown, Ohio to Louis and Constance Clemence LeGay Chick ("Cicchi") , Jennie attended Youngstown City Schools and, prior to her marriage, worked in the Chick family grocery business.  On November 24, 1949, she married Nicholas Alexander Popp, Jr. They were blessed with 49 years together and raised their five daughters in their home on Stepney Street in Niles, Ohio.  Nick preceded her in death on April 3, 1999. In 2005, Jennie relocated to Macedonia, Ohio where she resided for several years with her daughter and son-in-law, Philomena and Richard Gales.

She was an active and life-long member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and volunteered for many years at Mt. Carmel School and at the annual summer festival.  She also volunteered with the American Heart Association and supported the World War II effort as a United Service Organization (USO) volunteer.  An avid music lover, she especially enjoyed dancing.  She also enjoyed flower gardening, ceramics, crafting, cooking, and word puzzles.  Over the years she produced many beautiful ceramic pieces and crocheted blankets and scarves. Jennie's family will always cherish the memories of her Christmas Eve feasts and the delicious pasta and pizza dinners she so lovingly prepared.  She always looked forward to hosting her grandchildren for their annual Christmas cookie-decorating contest at her home, where many interesting designs were created.  Jennie will especially be remembered for her loving and gentle spirit; warm, kind  personality; and the deep compassion she possessed for those around her.

Jennie often commented that her greatest joy in life was her family and she will be lovingly missed by her five daughters: Anne M. Leschinsky (Thomas) - Cortland, OH; Philomena Anne Gales (Richard) - Macedonia, OH; Mary Donna Yasechko (Robert) - Niles, OH; Theresa Popp Braun (Raymond) - Holland, OH; and Genevieve Popp (Steve Kay) - Cleveland, OH; six grandchildren: John Nicholas Templeman (Cleveland, OH); Father Michael Thomas Leschinsky, SDB (Washington, DC); Maribeth Leschinsky (Orange, OH); Tara Leigh Tonsetic (University Heights, OH); Hillary Jayne Braun (San Francisco, CA); and Raymond William Braun, Jr, (London, England); her first great grandchild, Noah Michael Tonsetic, who was born on February 27, 2014; and her sister, Mary Louise Chick Valentine (Boardman, OH).  Aunt Nini will also be affectionately remembered and missed by her many nieces and nephews.  Preceding Jennie in death were two brothers Peter E. Chick and Anthony Chick and two sisters, Ann Berroteran and Ernestine Pascale.
