Jennifer Lee Howard

Jennifer was born on October 6, 1978, in Rogers, Arkansas, to Patricia Hobbs and Denis Howard. She grew up in the area and attended schools in Rogers.

Jennifer’s greatest passion in life was simply loving everyone around her and being selflessly at the service of everyone in her life. When her family and friends look back, their favorite memories all boil down to this incredible devotion. She possessed a rare and beautiful ability to completely put aside her own problems to show up for others. Jennifer was also an exceptionally vibrant person who absolutely loved the entire rainbow of bright colors. Her natural curiosity, independent "do-it-yourself" spirit, love for arts and crafts, and dedicated care for animals brought immense light and joy to everyone who knew her.

Jennifer is survived by her loving son, Wade Howard; her sister, Jamie Hobbs Deans, and her husband, Phil Deans; her brothers, David Howard and Colby Hobbs; her niece, Taya Deans; her nephew, Titan Hobbs; her uncle, Jeff Rock; and her cousins, John Rock, Gerald Rock, and Justin Rock, alongside a close-knit family of extended relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her son, Jaden Howard; her mother, Patricia Hobbs; her father, Denis Howard; her stepfather, Jack Hobbs; and her aunt, Catherine Rock.
