She had a Master’s Degree in Education and was a  Second Grade Teacher at West Smiths Station Elementary School for several years. Jennifer was also an active member of New Hope Revival Ministry where she enjoyed worshiping with her family and friends. Jennifer was not ashamed of her faith and worshiped freely and openly. She enjoyed watching butterflies and being in the outdoors. Jennifer was also an athlete, specifically swimming, where she excelled. She was passionate about anything she put her hand and heart to do. 

We will remember her as a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter and friend. She never ran out of love for those around her and was quick to make a new friendship. While we do not understand the reasons for her leaving us so soon, we take comfort in knowing that God causes all things to work together for those who love Him.
