Jennifer Jean Buth

Jennifer Jean Buth, age 48, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday November 15, 2025, in Green Bay. Jennifer was born on February 8, 1977, in Racine, Wisconsin to Mary (Hardy) Retzlaff.

She was a proud CNA who poured her heart into caring for others throughout the Shawano area, touching countless lives with her kindness and dedication. A natural social butterfly, she lit up every room she entered-outspoken, full of humor, and always ready with a quick joke to make someone's day brighter. People were drawn to her warm personality and the effortless way she made everyone feel seen and valued. Jennifer had a gift for leaving lasting impressions, the kind that stayed with you long after a conversation ended. She was exceptionally proud of quitting smoking and celebrated her recovery.

Jennifer loved good food, good company, and the simple joy of sharing laughter. Her forgiving nature and generous spirit made her someone others trusted deeply; she was always available to offer advice, wisdom, or simply a listening ear. Jennifer shared that each grey hair was a sign of honor. Above all, she was the most incredible mom-loving, steady, and endlessly supportive. Her big bear hugs had a magic of their own, wrapping you in comfort and making the world feel safe again. She truly was one of a kind. With having a rough upbringing it never dimmed her light.

Jennifer is survived by her wife, Lisa Chambers; mother, Mary (Hardy) Retzlaff; children, Mickanzy (Ryan) Vannewkirk, Kimberly (Skylar) Buth, Nevaeh (Dayten Glish) Krepline and Danyell Brooks; grandchildren, Riki Vannewkirk and soon to be baby boy Thomas; stepson, Dallas Chambers. She is further survived by numerous aunts, uncles, other relatives, friends, many loving adopted sons and daughters.

Jennifer is preceded in death by her father, Ricky, Fur Baby Princess.

Her light will never cease to exist for she is ever more in spirit with those she touched.
