Jennifer Zschokke Obituary
SOUTHBOROUGH - Jennifer Kenney Zschokke "The Lavendar Warrior", 50 of Southborough, MA passed away peacefully December 18, 2015 at her home surrounded by loving family after a 12+ year battle with breast cancer. She was the beloved wife of Peter Zschokke and mother of Kyle and Ben. Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Jennifer received a B.A. from Westminster College and MBA from Boston College. In her professional career, Jennifer achieved many successes, eventually becoming Group Director Audit for National Grid PLC based in London, UK. Jennifer's' professional capability, compassion for others and calm demeanor made her an influential role model to many others at National Grid. These traits also brought many close friendships over the years. Only cancer could take away her passion to paint and sketch since she was a talented artist as well.
Jennifer is survived by her parents, Charles and Jeanne Kenney; her brother Mark Kenney, his wife Diane and their daughters Katie and Meredith; her sister Christi Boyle, her husband David and their daughters Ashley, Hayley, Ava and Ella and the family dog Apollo.
A Celebration of Jennifer's Life will be held on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 from 3 to 7 P.M. at the John P. Rowe Funeral Home Inc., 57 Main Street, Marlborough, Ma. Memorial Services will be held on Wednesday, December 23, 2015 at 11 A.M. at the Pilgrim Congregational Church, 15 Common Street, Southborough, MA. People are encouraged to wear purple. Burial will be at the convenience of the family at a later date.

Remembering Jen and her smile and beauty. I know she is held dear in the hearts of Peter and the boys and she watches over them with love. We were so happy to have Jen and family on the 4th of July when she first moved here. Also remember Dick using his van to move Jen from different apartments as she moved up the ladder at work. I admired her strength of character and her quiet manner. She will live in the hearts of all her knew her.

Jennifer will always be remembered for her strength and very soft personality. Jennifer and our daughter,Gina Bartolotta Hine were very good friends from Grade School through High School. Their friendship has remained in tact. It was always, Jennifer, Gina, Barb and Caroline. Jennifer's Mom and I had a partnership.
I will always remember her smile, it was a very special smile. Jennifer worked for her Mom and I. She knew more than we did.
Peter...I am sure that Jennifer was the love of your life. You are one lucky man.
I know that the children will miss their Mom, she will be their Angel to watch and guide the boys.
My deepest sympathy, Joan Bartolotta
