Jennie Olliene Romine

    Jennie Olliene Romine, age 76, of Thayer, Missouri, passed peacefully on September 30, 2025, in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by love. Born on January 12, 1949, in Thayer, she was the cherished daughter of Riley C. Thornton and Grace M. Smith Thornton. On September 14, 1969, Jennie married the love of her life, Jackie “Jack” D. Romine, in their hometown of Thayer. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with laughter, faith, and devotion, raising five children and sharing 38 wonderful years of marriage until Jack’s passing in 2007.

    Jennie’s heart was fullest when she was with her family and spending time with her grandchildren. She found joy in baking, losing herself in a good book, and sharing her faith with her church family. A devoted member of Welcome Hill Church of Christ in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, Jennie’s gentle spirit and unwavering faith touched many lives.

    She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children: Misty (Greg) Brazel, Thomas Romine, Jacqueline Dover, Kimberly Romine, and Jason (Kristina) Romine; her grandchildren: Haley Brazel, Conner Brazel, David “Trey” Dover, Braden (Aubrey) Dover, Wyatt Dover, Keegan Dover, Kayle Romine, and Jackson Romine; and her great-grandson, Waylon Dover. Jennie was also a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart.
Jennie is reunited in heaven with her beloved husband Jack, her parents Riley and Grace, her brothers Donald and Vernon Thornton, and her precious granddaughter Tabitha Brazel.

    Her warmth, kindness, and quiet strength will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
