Jennifer Ann Laney Steppe

Holding you in our thoughts.

I consider Jennifer to have been a very kind and generous friend. My husband Dave and I were so grateful for her, doing the March for Life together and the travel times with her and Dean. We miss her attentive texts and comments, and feel deeply the sense of loss in time hoped for with her again that won’t happen here, but we Trust in an eternal Friendship.

Jennifer and I worked together at IBM many, many years ago, when we were in the DC area. We became friends and remained so even when our careers took different paths. She was one of the smartest and strongest people I ever knew. I am so saddened to learn of her passing. I wish Dean, Aaron, and Mickey peace during this difficult transition.

Dean and family, we are so sorry to hear of Jenny's passing. Jenny was such a valuable member of our Laney Clan leadership and did so much to help us with our Cookbooks and reunions. We will miss her happy smile and contagious laughter. She embraced life and truly lived it to the fullest extent! We pray God's blessings of peace and comfort will be with all of you and your family at this difficult time. We know she is now at peace with our Lord, her parents and others who have passed on...

Jenny and I were part of a wonderful friend group at Faith Baptist in Somis, CA. Jenny was always kind and fun! She will be deeply missed. My prayers are with her family for comfort.

In loving memory of a wonderful sister. We will love you and miss you always.

Jennifer will be greatly missed. As a co worker in IBM back in the 80's she was a pleasure to work with, always there to pitch in and do whatever was needed to get the job done, with a big smile and cheerfulness. Though our careers took us in different directions over the years, Jennifer and Dean remained good friends with Laurie and me and we have enjoyed their company many times. Wonderful and generous folks!
Dean, "may the God of all comfort you at this time".

Jennifer will truly be missed. She was the kindest person I knew. She broke barriors when she became the 1st or 2nd female customer engineer in IBM area 7 (Washington DC/Virginia/Maryland). Bernice Peltier was the other and I was the 3rd. I recall being stuck on a difficult call and she came right over to help when I couldn't get help from others. The 3 of us quickly became life long friends. She made a point to stay in touch. God bless her and provide comfort to her family.

I worked with Jennifer for many years. She blessed everyone she met with her positive attitude, warmth and smile. She cared about all and always asked about my wife (also a Jennifer) whenever we met with our IBM team. Her customers always expressed she was a professional in her support and loved her. Everyone that new Jennifer was blessed. Dean may God bring comfort to you and family.
