Jennifer was born in Aurora Illinois at Mercy Hospital. Jennifer came into this world with a smile and a personality that could light up a room. Jennifer was the perfect baby, she always felt like she was going to miss something, so we had a hard time getting her to take a nap. She was so adventurous climbing all over everything, just like the little Monkey she was. She was notorious for being mischievous and hiding things, including money, toys, and bottle caps. Jen loved to listen to music, sing as loud as she could and dance around the room. Singing with her papa, playing the guitar with her brother, and pushing her sisters around in their car was some of the many things she loved to do with her family.

Jennifer's family was one of the most important things in her life. When Jennifer became a wife and Mother to four children, her life was all about her kids and family. From planning various holiday and birthday parties, she loved to keep herself and kids entertained. Taking the kids to the zoo, arboretum, museums, concerts, fireworks, and parks.  It was always an adventure when she put her mind to something. The kids cherished every moment they spent with her. Jen was a good time as she would say. She loved a good party. Jen always made sure everyone ate a good meal. It was important to her that good food be present. She also had to have her sweets. She loved herself a good donut. Most importantly no matter how long you knew Jen she left an impact on you and your life.

If you were a lucky enough to be part of Jennifer's life, you would know what a beautiful soul she was. A radiance about her that stood out to everyone around her and she always had a smile on her face. Some would say when they hear the word smile, they would think of her. She had a very big and loud personality that everyone loved. She was passionate about everything she did. She was the type of person who helped everyone and never judged. She was there for you no matter what, and if you needed something she would try and find a way to get it, even if it meant giving you the shirt off her own back. She always found a way to make things work and forgave no matter what the circumstances were. She always wanted to mend fences and enjoy life. With her love of entertaining Jennifer spent most of her career as a server. She enjoyed making people laugh and making sure they had a great meal when she was at work. With her free spirit and contagious smile, it was hard not to have a good time when she was around. Jennifer will be missed by many but her love for everyone will be forever in our hearts
