Jennifer Ann Krauss

Jennifer Ann Herm Krauss passed away on March 28, 2020, suddenly from a brain aneurysm at the young age of 50. She began her journey in life on January 25, 1970, with her parents, Donald and Ann Herm, in Saginaw, Michigan.

Jenn is survived by her children, John Barozzi Krauss and Isabelle Anne Krauss, her parents, Donald James Herm and Ann Marie Herm, sister, Heather (Keith) Ditinno, nephew, Henry Ditinno and niece, Annabelle Ditinno. She is also survived by her fiancé, Mike Edwards and his sons, Cole and Nick Edwards and Bill Krauss (father of John and Isabelle).

Jenn had a deep love for her children which guided her life decisions. She enjoyed spending time in the mountains and on the beach with family and friends but equally enjoyed a day of shopping in the city. She was also a dedicated fitness enthusiast. Jenn loved fashion, a good cup of coffee and a good belly laugh, a competitive game of golf, and a quick "check in" with family. It was this diverse set of interests and her vibrant personality, and charisma that would light up a room and made her so much fun to be around. Jenn was a graduate of the University of Utah with a B.A. in Anthropology. After college Jenn started her career in retail but soon found her calling as an entrepreneur starting several businesses and helping friends start others. Jenn was currently the Vice President of Strategic Development for INTEGRA.

Jenn lived her life to the fullest, with a great love for her children, family, and friends and we would love nothing more than to celebrate her life with all who knew her. However, due to the current health concerns linked with COVID-19, the immediate family will be holding a private service at this time. We will hold a public memorial service at a later date and we look forward to visiting with all of Jenn’s dear friends and extended family then. Thank you for understanding as we venture through this extremely difficult time.

Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider a donation to The Butterfly Foundation, who will be coordinating all donations in lieu of flowers for John and Isabelle's college fund.
