Abilene Christian College was her college of choice where she majored in Education and minored in Music.
It was at the ACC talent show, where she was singing "Unforgettable," that Gaston Dabney Cogdell first saw and heard her. It was love at first sight.
Five years later, Gaston and Jenelle were married in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania where Gaston was serving in the Navy in WWII. She was his perfect match.
Jenelle served the Lord faithfully, loving his church and working tirelessly to see it grow. She held everything that was confided to her in her heart.
She was preceded in death by her husband, after 58 years of marriage, in 2000.
She was a Texan last and always-living her four last happy and thankful years with one of her daughters and her daughter's family, the Bhagwandins.
