After graduation from Valley City Teacher's College, she moved to the "Wild West" of North Dakota and taught elementary school in Sentinel Butte. There she met her future husband, Harry Walter Spiegelberg, a Sgt. in the U.S. Army, while he was home on furlough in 1943. Two furloughs and many letters later they eloped on December 2, 1944. Jennie joined Harry in Port Townsend, Washington where she taught physical education until the end of WWII.
The young couple returned to Harry's hometown of Beach, ND, where they raised four children and lived for 54 years until moving to Mission Ridge Retirement Community in Billings, MT. Jennie and Harry were married for 62 years until Harry's death in 2007.

Over the years Jennie and Harry traveled to all 50 states and the British Isles. On their 50th wedding anniversary they visited their 50th state, Hawaii.
While living in Beach, Jennie belonged to the Order of Eastern Star, Congregational Church, Homemakers Club, American Legion Auxiliary, Bridge Club and Tracy Mountain Woodcarvers. In her retirement years, Jennie became a certified EMT and was a member of the Beach Volunteer Ambulance squad. She taught CPR and first aid in Golden Valley and Billings Counties in North Dakota. Jennie loved to golf, wood carve and play cards until she developed macular degeneration. She remained a life-long reader and lover of poetry. Jennie loved wild crocus, the North Dakota Badlands and the drumming circle at Mission Ridge. After moving to Billings, she became a member of Lifeway Baptist Church.
Jennie was the devoted mother of 4 children: Sue Weinreis, Dan Spiegelberg, Sally Krueger and Dave Spiegelberg. Jennie valued higher education and ensured that each of her children obtained a college education.
