September 16, 1972 - August 2, 2025 Jennifer Suzanne Herman, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home in Holly Springs, Georgia, on August 2, 2025, at the age of 52. Born on September 16, 1972, in Syracuse, New York, Jennifer was a proud graduate of Liverpool High School. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and English from Canisius University in Buffalo, NY, and a Master's Degree in Reading from SUNY Oswego. Her deep love for learning and passion for children shaped her 27 year career as a 3rd grade teacher with Cobb County Schools at Tritt Elementary School in Marietta, GA, where she touched countless lives and inspired generations. Jennifer married the love of her life, Michael Herman, on June 6, 1998. Together they shared 27 beautiful years of marriage and raised their daughter, Morgan Herman, who was Jennifer's pride and joy. She is survived by her devoted husband Michael; her daughter Morgan; her loving mother Cynthia Peters; her siblings Mark Peters (Kay), Cindi LoSurdo (Dominic), and Kim Pierce (Billy); and her many cherished nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Roy Peters; her grandparents; her sister Laurie Peters; and her brother Gary Peters. Jennifer lived a life filled with warmth, generosity, and joy. She had a special gift for making others feel seen and celebrated, especially on their birthdays. Her love for the Buffalo Bills, reading, and Christmas was contagious, and her home was always a place of laughter and light. Above all, Jennifer's heart belonged to her family and the countless students she nurtured throughout her life. Her legacy of love, kindness, and dedication will live on in the many lives she touched. A visitation will be held at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, August 9, 2025, followed by a Funeral Mass at 1:00 p.m. Both services will take place at Transfiguration Catholic Church in Marietta, Georgia.
