Jenna Nicole Austin

Jenna Nicole Austin, 19, of Grafton, passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at Grafton City Hospital, surrounded by her loving family and cherished friends. She was born on March 11, 2006, in Morgantown, the beloved daughter of Jason Bruce Austin and Joanne Lynn Franks Austin.

Jenna was a proud graduate of Grafton High School, Class of 2024. She was employed in the housekeeping department at Grafton City Hospital, where she worked for a short time but made a lasting impression. Jenna quickly became a dear friend to many of her coworkers, touching lives with her kindness, warmth, and genuine care for others.

In her free time, Jenna enjoyed playing video games, but what she loved most was being with people. She loved swimming, camping, going to the beach and especially her four furry cats.  Jenna had a radiant smile and a gentle spirit that made everyone feel welcome. She had a rare gift for turning simple moments into meaningful connections. Selfless, giving, and endlessly kind, she left a lasting mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her absence will be deeply felt, and her memory will forever be treasured.

Jenna is survived by her loving brothers, Jason Austin (Jessica) and Justin Austin (Merissa); her niece, Julianna Austin; and her nephew, Jason Austin, all of whom she adored dearly.
