Jennifer Rasmussen Obituary
Scottsdale - Jennifer Gillen Rasmussen, age 54, died at her home in Scottsdale, AZ on February 18, 2018. She was born in Richmond, VA on April 18th, 1963 to Francis and Brenda (Kiaer) Gillen and was the eldest of six children. Jennifer was married to Robert Rasmussen, and she was the loving mother of her four wonderful children, Henry, Will, Christopher and Loulou.

Jennifer was a gifted athlete who maintained a competitive tennis game throughout her life. Jennifer was an avid reader, an accomplished cook and a gracious host who enjoyed entertaining friends and family. She was generous and had the knack for finding the perfect gift for her loved ones. Since childhood, one of Jennifer's happiest places was spending summers at the beach in Quogue, NY with dear friends and family. In life, Jennifer was most proud of her four children: Henry, Will, Christopher and Loulou, whom she all considered her shining stars. Jennifer was a true friend and a great listener. She had a fun loving personality and an infectious sense of humor. She will be remembered as a kind soul and greatly missed by all her knew her. Jennifer was predeceased by her parents and survived by her husband and children, siblings Chipper, Spencer, Chris, Amanda and Loulie, 12 nieces and nephews and her mother and father-in-law, June and Bob Rasmussen. A service will be held on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 11am at Messinger Pinnacle Peak, 8555 East Pinnacle Peak Road, Scottsdale, AZ.

5 years after your passing, this old friend misses you. I had a dream that I was back in Quogue and you were so clearly present - as was your sideways smile, your love, and your always amazing sense of humor!

I am a classmate of Jennifer from Garrison Forest School. Many of us from the class of 81 are in shock and very sad over this news. We have all been texting each other from the class of 81 saying how GREAT your Mom and wife were. We send our love and prayers to each of you at this horrible time and will keep our Jennifer and your Jennifer in our hearts forever!
Love,

I am shock and saddened to learn the news of Jennifer's passing. We all missed her when she left New York to head west, and I would look forward to Christmas every year when we would update each other about our families. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, and a great friend who always provided wonderful advice. I will always remember our summers in the Hamptons. My thoughts and prayers are with her wonderful husband, Robby, and her children. May her memory be eternal.

May God give you strength in this time of sorrow. Matthew 5:4 says Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted. During this time of great sorrow and pain know that you are not alone. May God give your family the strength and comfort to help you endure this loss.
