Who we are: Jenny McGee

-

 My name is Jenny McGee, formerly Jenny Criscuolo. I am the granddaughter of Janet and Tony Messina and the daughter of Joyce Messina. 

 I live in Tinton Falls, NJ which is in Monmouth County- right at the Jersey Shore! I live here with my husband and two children. We live in a wonderful neighborhood where we've gotten very close with 5 families on the street during this pandemic. We all sit in our lawn chairs outside while the kids ride bikes and play. We are all really thankful that one good thing that came out of this pandemic is our new friendships! 


I am married to my husband Rob; we've been married for 8 years. We share two beautiful boys, Mason who will be 7 on December 9th and Lucas who turned 2 on July 19th. Mason is currently in 1st grade and right now he attends two days in school and 3 days virtual. It's been challenging but we're getting through it! Mason just finished his season of T-Ball which he really loves. He placed 3rd overall on the team for outstanding performance! 
Lucas goes to daycare which he loves!  He is obsessed with riding his balance bike and being outside every day. He will be riding a two-wheel bike before we know it!

I work for the State of NJ, Child Protection and I've been there for 14 years! My husband Rob is a Nurse and works in a Surgery Center close to the house.  Rob's been working in the office since the pandemic for all the mandatory surgeries. I've been working from home since March but as of July, I've been going into the office about 1-2 times per week. It's nice to be able to go into the office to see co-workers and feel some sense of "normal." 

We like to take trips as a family. We take a yearly summer vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina with Rob's immediate family- which is about 30 people! We also love going to Florida every year to visit Grandma (Janet) at her home in West Palm Beach. We weren't able to make it this past Easter so we're hoping to be able to get there in 2021. 

No big or little news to share right now! Hoping this e-mail gave you a little information about me and my family. Looking forward to hearing everyone else's story!

Love, Jenny


Hi Jenny
So nice to hear from another member of our large family. 
My parents Lee and Ralph Fidell were very close to Janet and Tony. We sure miss the summer family reunions. 
My husband Jim and I also love the Outer Banks. We love traveling to North Carolina. 
Hope to meet you soon. 
Love
Diana 

Jenny (and Diana),
You do realize you have a lot of this family in North Carolina, too.  Knock on our doors when you cross into the Tar Heel State.
And great job, Mason!  You have baseball in your genes.

   Long time, no see! Hope you are doing well. My mom forwarded me the "family Q&A" email, but I've only just had the time to sit down and reply.  I am Mary Grace, daughter of Carol (Cozzoli) Zmuda and Henry Zmuda [and granddaughter of Joseph and Martha Cozzoli]. I don't have any siblings.   I grew up in the Panhandle for a few years, but called Gainesville my home for throughout middle school/high school and college. Now I live in Melbourne, FL (I wish it was Australia though!).  No children, unless you count my dog (who lives with my parents) and my cat (who lives with me)! I adopted my cat in the middle of college when he was just 8 weeks old. Now he's 3! His name is Sisko, after a Star Trek captain.  I work in the communications department at an aerospace & defense technology company, L3Harris (formerly known as Harris). I started last May! I'm actually in a rotational program, so I get to experience different areas of commun...
