Jenifer Lynn Guzinski
Jenifer Lynn Guzinski, 59, of Lincoln, passed away Tuesday, December 7, 2021, in Lincoln, from many complications she has dealt with since her pre-teen years. Jeni was born, September 6, 1962, in Lincoln, Nebraska to Gary and Lou (Bray) Salzman. Jeni grew up in Lincoln and went to a couple of different elementary schools and graduated from Lincoln East High School in 1980. She attended the culinary program at Southeast community college, garnering an associate degree, and went on to work as a cook for several years. A career change led her to Vocational Rehabilitation’s clerical program. She was then hired by the VANWIHC (VA), where she was a receptionist for several years. She later retired from Urology PC, after working there for 25 years.
Jeni loved to sing to the Christian radio station. Willie Nelson, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett, Aretha Franklin, and Cher were a few of her favorite people to sing along with also. She had much compassion for all animals and nature, including dolphins and the ocean, in which she has a huge collection of various keepsake tokens. Throughout her life, she formed many beautiful relationships along the way of her occupations that she cherished immensely.

Lou and family,
I really miss Jeni and still am in shock at her passing. You know I love Jeni and I could talk to her about most anything. I will miss that and going out to eat with her.
She was a good friend to me. Thanks for befriending me Lou. You have a wonderful family. My sincerest condolences to all of you. I am so very sorry she’s gone. God called her home for His reasons. May God bless and keep you.
Lou, Jay, Jo and family, My deepest sympathies for the loss of sweet Jeni! She was truly an angel among us. Her smile and laugh could light up a room! Sending you all hugs and love! Stacey
Prayers are with the families.
