Jennifer was the daughter of the late Mr. Offord Richard and the former Anna Thibodeaux. Affectionately known as Jenny, Momma, Maw Bean, and Ja Jen; she wore many hats and was loved by many. She had a great passion for cooking and found joy in seeing the smiling faces of those who indulged in her wonderful meals. Jenny had a love for people and never met someone who didn't quickly become a friend. She was kind and compassionate to everyone around her. Known lovingly as Maw Bean, Jenny cherished her grandchildren more than anything. She was incredibly proud of her eldest grandson and excited to see what the future would hold for her two youngest grandsons. Jenny was a fighter and bravely fought her journey to the very end. Her heart was simply too big, and unfortunately, it gave out. We have no doubt she was welcomed into heaven with open arms, now dancing on streets of gold and casting out her fishing pole.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."-Psalm 147:3
