Jennifer Leigh Goetzinger, 36, of Mount Royal, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on August 30, 2025, surrounded by her loving husband, father, mother, mother in law, brother and sisters at her parents' home in Dover, Delaware, after a heroic three-year battle with ovarian cancer.

Jennifer was born on June 11, 1989, in Brandon, Florida, the daughter of Robert Benjamin Goetzinger Jr. and Christina Marie Goetzinger (Miller). She graduated with honors from Rutgers University–New Brunswick, earning a degree in Human Resource Management with a minor in Psychology. Jennifer pursued a career in postgraduate recruitment, most recently working with Elevate.law before her illness.

Jennifer married the love of her life, Justin Thomas DelMonte, a Sergeant with The Camden County Sheriff's Office. Together they built a life filled with deep love, music, laughter, and connection. She was very devoted to her husband, their dog Lito, and her family. She cherished time spent with her friends and loved ones. Known for being radiantly beautiful, caring, and empathetic, Jennifer always put others first and touched the lives of many both personally and professionally (including countless clinicians who cared for her).

Jennifer is survived by her husband, Justin Thomas DelMonte; her parents, Robert Benjamin Goetzinger Jr. and Christina Marie Goetzinger (Miller); her brother, Robert Benjamin Goetzinger III and wife Jessica Domenica Goetzinger (Gunzelman); and her sisters, Katherine Elizabeth Goetzinger and Claire Elise Goetzinger; mother-in-law Cynthia DiDomenico; and brother-in-law Brenden DelMonte and wife Kelly.

Jennifer will be remembered for her self-less compassionate nature, a great sense of humor, her incredible resilience and courage, the positive and lasting impact on everyone she knew and loved, her kindness, her professionalism in her job, a love of music, and beautiful creativity in a wide range of artwork. She had a remarkable way of building meaningful connections and creating a sense of comfort and belonging and touched many lives in such a brief period of time.

Her legacy is not only in the love she gave but in the example of strength, kindness, and thoughtfulness she carried through every part of her life.
