Jennifer was well known by many throughout the community. She began her career as a waitress at Jim’s Drive-In in Northfield, where she was recognized for her extraordinary hospitality in the service industry.

Jennifer was never afraid to show up and give her all, earning respect through her dedication and work ethic in every role she took on. She was determined to do and be the best she could, no matter what the challenge.

Jennifer was known for her big smile that lit up every room she entered and for her bubbly, outgoing personality that anyone could instantly love. Her warm smile and uplifting presence had a way of giving your soul a hug—one you didn’t even realize you needed at the time.

She never went a day without making sure that love was felt by others, and for that, we are beyond lucky.

Jennifer was a true nature girl at heart. She spent much of her time outdoors, often scavenging the woods for little treasures from Mother Nature.

Everything Jennifer did in life was done with purpose and love—and she excelled in both.
