Jennifer Schaffer Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Farnelli Funeral Home - Williamstown on Jan. 12, 2026.
Jennifer L. Schaffer, age 40, of Williamstown, NJ, passed away on January 9, 2026.

Jennifer attended grade school at St. Mary School in Williamstown, where she served as the School President in 8th grade. She spent her freshman year at Paul VI and was a graduate of Williamstown High School, Class of 2003. Jennifer enjoyed cheerleading throughout her life and was a varsity cheerleader in high school. She attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, earning her bachelor's degree in behavioral psychology. With a desire to serve, she cherished her role as a Home Care Supervisor, working for Aleph Home Care in Cherry Hill. As an avid Phillies fan, she proudly got a tattoo, along with her cousin Anthony, when they won the World Series in 2008.

Jennifer had an energy and personality that could not be missed; she was known to light up every room and keep everyone laughing. Jennifer had the brightest spirit, a kind soul, and the ability to make everyone feel loved and important. She left a lasting impact on everyone that knew her. Family was the keystone of Jennifer's life, her happiest times were spent with the ones she loved, especially her Pop, her godmother Aunt Barbara, her nieces and nephews.

Beloved daughter of William and Regina Schaffer. Loving sister of Regina Marie Sholinsky (Ed) and Samantha Dimacale (Delmar). Treasured aunt of William, Jacob, and Maxwell Sholinsky and Valerie, Daniella, and Lyla Dimacale. Dear granddaughter of the late Ned and Barbara Arot and the late Albin and Lena Schaffer. Jennifer is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing on Saturday, January 17th from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at St. Mary's Church/Our Lady of Peace Parish, S. Main St. & Carroll Ave. in Williamstown. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 12:00 PM. Interment will be held privately.

I will always remember Jen as the girl with the high ponytail, doing cartwheels in the living room while somehow still eating a pancake! I'll remember her energy, her laughter, and the way she could light up a room and get everyone psyched before a big cheer competition. She brought joy wherever she went, and that is how Jen will always live on in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
