Jennifer loved her children and grandchildren more than anything. She was their biggest fan and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them.

Since her cancer diagnosis two years ago, Jennifer was a fierce warrior. She stayed strong and fought this relentless battle with both courage and grace, stubbornly refusing to let it win. She had a servant’s heart and was always reaching out to help others, even continuing to serve others between treatments. She was a loyal friend to many. Those who knew her never had to question what she was thinking, she would tell you. She is leaving a huge void in the lives of her many friends and family.
