Jen was a radiant presence in our lives - always the life of the party, a fierce protector, and a source of endless kindness and laughter. Although she did not have children of her own, her nieces and nephews were her world, and she cherished them deeply. Proudly, she was the mother of her two cats, Elsa and Anna, and enjoyed sharing pictures of them. Maintaining close contact with her family, Jen loved meeting new people, made friends easily and was very outgoing. Her entrance into a room was always noticeable due to her loud voice and constant jokes.
