Jennifer was born Sept. 6, 1992, in Cedar Rapids. She would have been a senior this year at North Cedar High School. Jennifer attended many school activities and played on the volleyball team. She worked as a dietary aide at Mechanicsville Care and Rehabilitation Center.

Jennifer was most happy being with her friends and family, and loved anything “pink.” She was always ready with a hug and a smile. Her last measure of caring was as a tissue donor.

She was our “princess,” and will be deeply missed.

A memorial fund in her honor is established.
