Jennifer Davis Obituary

Davis, Jennifer Miller TROY Jennifer Miller Davis, 45, of Troy passed suddenly, Wednesday, October 11, 2017, at Samaritan Hospital. Jennifer was born in North Adams, Mass. Jenn worked at Lanie's for many years before owning and operating Amsterdam Trailer Repair with her husband, Rich. Jennifer is the beloved wife of Richard J. Davis; devoted mother of Ashley (Alex Reo) Miller and Jordan Miller; proud daughter of Timothy (Anne) Haun and Peggy-Anne (Alan) Oleskiewicz; sister of Melissa (Charles) McCauley and Courtney Oleskiewicz; aunt to Christopher McCauley (Corie); great-aunt to Sean Patrick McCauley; and stepsister to Jeffrey Bleau and Jennifer Brames. An animal lover, Jenn leaves behind her beloved puppies, Snoopy, Gizzy, Louie, Jack and Frosty. She is now resting with her late cat, Princess. Jennifer was a champion of celebrating life. She loved snowmobiling with her family, taking limousine rides out and testing her luck at the Racino. Jenn was truly one of the girls. She loved baking in the sun with her friends and family and being the "coolest" mother to Ashley and Ashley's friends. There wasn't a day that went by that Jenn didn't have endless conversations on the phone with her family and friends, while sitting on the couch with her puppies and watching her favorite T.V. shows. Jennifer will always be remembered as an amazing woman who would do anything for anybody. Relatives and friends are invited to attend her funeral on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Church of St. Mary, 163 Columbia Tpke., Rensselaer, where a liturgy of Christian death and burial will be celebrated. Friends and family are invited to attend her calling hours, Monday from 4-7 p.m. at the Rockefeller Funeral Home 165 Columbia Tpke., Rensselaer. Interment will be in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. Donations may be made in her name to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, 3 Oakland Ave., Menands, NY 12204.
