Jennifer Lynn Mackey, 50, of Wheeling, WV, passed away on Saturday, July 5, 2025 at Wheeling Hospital.
She was born on September 11, 1974, in Wheeling, WV, daughter of Cheryl Lynn Taylor Frye and the late John Edward Mackey, Sr.
Jennifer worked as a Supervisor of the cleaning crew at Russell Nesbitt, Incorporated and was a Christian by faith.
She always had a smile on her face, her laugh was contagious, and she always found humor in everything. She prayed for all she knew, never met a stranger, and loved all animals she came in contact with. She was happy go lucky, full of fun, and so very loving.
Jennifer is survived by her mother and stepfather, Cheryl & Richard Frye of Valley Grove, WV; her 2nd mother, Dianna Clelland Mackey of Wheeling, WV; maternal grandmother, Dora Taylor; five brothers, John (Mary) Mackey II, George Wesley Mounts, Richard Alan Frye, Brian Lee Frye, and Jason Wayne Frye; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and a great-nephew whom she adored; and her dog, Magie Mae.
Friends will be received on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Kepner Funeral Homes, 166 Kruger Street, Wheeling, WV (304-242-2311).
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Ohio County Animal Shelter, 7011 National Road, Triadelphia, WV 26059.
