1989 North Marion grad Jenny Sypult Shaver of Monongah is being honored for the month of October by the Marion County Rescue Squad as a breast cancer fighter.

Jenny is married to Ronnie Shaver. Her children are Stevie Haught and Corbin Sypult.

Her parents are Rick and Gloria Sypult. Jenny’s younger siblings are Hiedi and Ricky.

Jenny has had her own hairdresser business for more than 20 years.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. Recently, it spread to her liver, so she’s facing more treatments for three months.

To support Jenny and breast cancer fighters and survivors, pink flamingo statues will be popping up all over Monongah.

If there’s one thing Monongah is good at, it’s coming together to help each other. It was that way when I lived there on Church Street in the 1950s. Nothing has changed.

Prayers and best wishes and good luck to you, Jenny!
