Jennifer Nicole Ayala

On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, Jennifer Nicole Ayala (Jenni), loving daughter and mother, passed away at the age of 30. Jenni lived in Central Point, Oregon on Old Highway 234 at the time of her death.

Jenni was born on June 17, 1990 in Mannheim, Germany. Jenni’s life may have been cut short, but she touched the hearts of so many people while she was with us.

Jenni was in the process of completing her business degree at RCC while working as a waitress and bartender. On May 30, 2020 she was to be married to her partner and the love of her life, Mark Nienhouse, who perished in the accident as well. The wedding was cancelled due to Covid 19 and rescheduled for May 30, 2021. Together, they were raising five children and had just started American Eagle Contracting.

Jenni had a passion for family, and lived by the moto “Family, Always and Forever”. She never needed an excuse to spend time with family and treated every moment special. She loved reading, writing poetry, and gardening. You could see it in her ability to tell stories and her garden. Anyone that knew Jenni, knew her to be considerate, caring, and non-judgemental. If you were in need, she came running.

Jenni was known for her quick wit, infectious smile, and her kind and compassionate spirit.

Jenni is survived by her family including Yvonne and Edward Angeletti, Vincent Ayala, Tyler Ayala, Chelsea Angeletti, Tiffany Ayala, David Manning, Emma Angeletti, Anthony Ayala, Jaiden Ayala, Victor and Yvonne Ayala, Karl Vieregge, Levi and Marquee Hersha, and many other relatives.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2020 at Touville State Park at 5 o’clock p.m.

Due to the current regulations, masks are required.
