Jennifer A. Call

Jennifer - my first thoughts today was its your special anniversary day! I was thinking of you today when you were in your
backyard swimming pool with your beloved swimming and your two long pigtails floating in the water...while you giggled and swam around and around!
Even though we aren't together physically we are always connected spiritually. I miss you so much but am comforted that you are no longer sick or in any pain. Give mom a hug for me and both of you have all my love .

Sending condolences, strength and prayers to Jennifer's family. I just learned of her passing yesterday. Jen was so kindhearted and helpful. Anytime we went out, it was always eventful and full of memories. Jen will be missed greatly.

I was saddened when I heard about Jennifer's passing recently.
I hadn't seen her in a long time and sorry I didn't know she wasn't well. She was a great kid and sweetheart. I'm still in disbelief.
My heart felt condolences to Mel and Helen and family. Jennifer will be missed.

Due to the COVID pandemic, public services are not an option at this time. If we were able to do so , this is the eulogy I would deliver.

Jen and I had a typical sister relationship. We didn’t always agree, but, oh! Don’t YOU dare say anything about my little sister. From those first moments I met her—a brand new doll for me to play with— to her last breath, she was and always will be my baby sister.

I’m flooded with snapshots of memories:

As a very little girl, I didn’t think Jen would ever stop following me around. A form of flattery? Try telling a 6 year old that! I can still see her riding around on her little Donald Duck scooter. Oh, how she loved that scooter!

She was 3 or 4, and her dance class did their first recital with the music “I’m a HulaHula Baby”. I can still see her grin as she practiced that dance in her little green outfit, oh so proudly.

Then there was the day she jumped into the pool without her “bubble” and swam all the way across the pool before she realized she didn’t have it, and then got scared. She apparently could swim, but didn’t have the confidence to try. That was the end of the “bubble”.

I think of the days in our neighborhood when all the kids played together... the big kids and the little kids. We all took care of each other, and boy, did everyone love Jennifer with the long dark hair flowing past her behind!

When she was about 5, she loved catching a mini bike ride with our neighbor—he didn’t often give rides, but he always did for Jennifer.

She had her “Little Red Riding Hood” blanket that she was never without— she still had a tiny shred of it all these years later. I can still see her curled up in that blankey sipping Lipton Cup o Soup when she was sick. She and Mom had always been attached at the hip, but those sick days cemented that relationship. They were two peas in a pod.

Weekends spent with our grandparents, when she was afraid to go to bed by herself...taking walks with them, when my grandfather would point out the dark yellow and black flowers —“Black Eyed Jennifers” .

Playing miniature golf, duckpin bowling, Saturday nights at Danbury Racerena, McDonalds French Fries, the Good Humor or Mr Softee truck on summer nights....

Then those teenage years when she discovered black eyeliner and loud music and an attitude! I can still see the shock on her face when our dad started singing along to Motley Crue’s Smokin’ in the Boys Room, never having realized that it was a remake.
Visiting me at college and jumping on the bed, singing into hairbrushes at the top of our longs to Van Halen’s Jump. Silly stupid, Fun things.

Jen always had a nurturing side to her. Oh, the flowers she could coax to full bloom!!
She liked to champion the underdog and help those in need— 2 legged and 4 legged. Her dogs were truly her babies.

When I was pregnant with my son, Jennifer was so excited to come see the ultrasound! She would pump my gas because she didn’t think I should. She was waiting right there when Emerson was born, one of the first to meet him.
But I think the thing that makes me proudest is Jennifer’s absolute and total dedication to our Mom. The tables turned somewhere along the line, and she became the Mama Bear for our mom.


She grew into an adult, and we often drifted away from each other, yet in just a single second, it could all fall away and we were like little kids again. I never doubted that Jen loved me, and I know that I always loved her, but sometimes we would forget that, or let stubbornness get in the way.


Now, I won’t have my little sister here anymore, but I WILL have a wealth of memories. I can think of favorite times with Jen, snapshots in my head. I will think of simpler, less complicated times, and remember her bright eyes and sweet, eager smile, and the fun we had together. I won’t have her with me, but she will always be in my heart. She is part of me, and we share a rich tapestry of family, friends and memories — ones I will treasure forever.

As for Jennifer, I hope that she can rest easy now, and that she is at peace. I know she is in a better place. I will miss her until we meet again.

To my Sister Helen, Charlie and Melody ~

Our hearts are broken along with yours.
John and I have always enjoyed Jennifer whenever we were able to stop by.
From a little girl with very long spiral pig tails watching her grow to now a grown woman, warms our hearts as we grieve right along with you all.
Her very sudden departure took all of us by surprise, but we feel she is in a far better place.
Jennifer was like us, a diamond in disguise, but now she is a bright shining diamond in the night sky.
May she have peace and good health, as we will all see her again as she will be waiting at the Pearly Gates to welcome us all home.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Aunt Jay and Uncle John in Pennsylvania
