Honoring the Life and Legacy of Jennie Nell Matthews

Jennie Nell Matthews lived a life beautifully defined by faith, family, and faithful service. She devoted herself to nurturing others—whether as a loving wife, a devoted bonus mother, a skilled business professional, or a steadfast servant in her church. Throughout her career at organizations such as the Illinois Institute of Technology, Arthur Andersen, BearingPoint, and The Claro Group, Jennie was known for her expertise, professionalism, leadership, and exceptional work ethic. She brought that same commitment and dedication to her church family, serving faithfully as a Sunday school teacher, financial secretary, and chairperson of the Trustee Board. Her steadfast spirit, deep faith, and willingness to serve left a lasting impact on her family, her colleagues, and her church community.

Jennie was my executive assistant at The Claro Group and Claro Healthcare. I started at Arthur Andersen in 1991 and so have known Jennie for some time. She was so steady, so professional and so solid. We had a great firm at Claro, and Jennie was a key part of it. When Claro Healthcare was formed in 2016 my office was right next to Jennie’s desk. I interacted with her quite a bit. She helped me every year with Christmas cards to our clients, file organization and in general keeping the practice going. She is one of a kind, and I am lucky that I know her.
