Jennifer is survived by her loving husband, Jesse, her two beautiful sons Ty (2) and Cade (newborn), her parents Len and Kathy Matuza, brother Ryan and his wife Sarah, brother Adam and his wife Melissa, brother Sean and his wife Kiersten. Jennifer was also adored by her 6 nieces and nephews, Abby, Ethan, Hannah, Lily, Wyatt and Owen; her maternal grandfather Ken Larson; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. She was also dearly loved by her mother and father in law, Jodi and Andy Krasna and her sister in law, Lindsay.
Born in Langhorne and raised in Morrisville, Jennifer graduated from Pennsbury High School in 2011, where she was a proud member of the 2009 SOL National Division Champion Girls Volleyball Team. After graduating from Pennsbury, she went on to study Early Grades Education at the West Chester University Honors College and obtained her Master's Degree in Literacy from Cabrini University.
Jennifer worked at Charlestown Elementary School in Malvern, PA as a first and second grade teacher for eight years, where she helped her students develop a passion for learning. A beloved member of the Great Valley community, Jennifer touched the lives of countless families because of the love and care she showed her students each day.
Jennifer enjoyed going to the beach, reading, camping, hiking, cheering on the Philadelphia sports teams, and celebrating holidays with her extended family. Her greatest love, however, was spending time with her son, Ty, and she was very much looking forward to making more memories and watching him grow up with his little brother, Cade.
