Although I did not know Jennifer, her work will live on forever. Intelligent, beautiful and bold. Although I have no idea how she passed, what I can say, is that it happened far too soon. I would encourage everyone to read what she had written with regard to the Hubble space telescope. Her role, thoughts and pride. I'm not quite sure how I stumbled across her obituary, but I do know that about a tear to my eye is I learned more about her.

Just finding my way here after learning of Jennifer’s passing through a colleague from Ball, when I asked about how she was doing.  The last time I saw her was at a conference sometime before COVID…and took it for granted that I would see her again.  Such a warm, friendly, and quirky (in the best way) person who I always enjoyed talking with.  She always gave me Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus vibes, 😃.  I will miss her and extend belated condolences to her family.

My deepest condolences.  I knew Jenny back in the BBS days and drifted apart as we wen tinto college.  She was the smartest and would be the most accomplished of us, but more importantly she was a great person to hang out with.

JTV was always a joy to work with. It was working with her that first made me realize that super-smart people create their own, special, wonderful sub-culture of fun people for all of us science nerds who did not fit in until we got to college and industry. Such a brilliant, passionate, vibrant soul! I was disappointed when she retired early from Ball, and very disappointed about her early passing this fall. What a great person! My condolences to Tim and family.

At Jenny and Tim’s wedding, that was very beautiful, there were pans of candy frogs that Jenny’s Mom made. I still can see them. Jen loved all creatures, big and small…her capacity to love huge…not just for Tim and Tika but all of us!…and for frogs too.

I'm so sorry, Tim. Jen always had a contagious smile and optimistic outlook that will never be forgotten. Hang on to those.

Jennifer was pure joy and love! I have known her for years and when I say she was the bright spot in my day on the days she sat in my chair and had me do her hair was always a better day! She will be so missed. Tim and the family I'm so very sorry for your loss!

My deepest condolences for your loss. I knew Jennifer at CU in Carl Weiman's lab where she worked as an undergraduate and then again as a friend and a colleague at Ball Aerospace. Her joy and energy always transformed the room when she entered. I have fond memories of having lunch with Jennifer and Tim at Walnut South soon after they had both retired, and I had left Ball for NIST. I remember a meal filled with laughter and good advice about life and career from both. Jennifer is, and always will be, in my heart.
