  What a life, what a woman!  Whew! Jennie was quite singular for her times - any times.  I didn’t know she stuck it out with her first husband until his death, or about her hospital ship during the Boer War.  I did know she was Winston’s champion in politics.  I admire her greatly & am sad she didn’t have a better end.  But she had someone who loved her at her bedside when she died.  I’m glad about that.

  I grew up with the Old Bennington Vermont branch of the Jerome family who were cousins of the Churchill family &amp; they were superb philanthropists promoting education, farming, sports for locals etc. I am a teacher because I was given a Montessori school education in kindergarten where the Lieutenant Governor’s wife taught me to read

  Every picture has a story, and this video captures that perfectly.

  What a story; at 67 years Jennie died too early; &nbsp;I wish she had lived long enough to see her son elected British Prime Minister! She was a beautiful, brilliant and hardworking woman who was a good wife and mother. She was always destined for greatness. 👏👏

  I think the picture of the couple in costumes is King George V and Queen Mary.🙂
