On December 12, 2011 heaven received a humble champion. Jennifer celebrated life and love at every point. Her love for the piano would fill the house; her passion moved her to support the civil rights movement and the ERA amendment for woman equality. Her heart led her to care for foster children, she became a mother to many, Patrick, in particular, was like a son to both her and John. Her undying love filled the lives of many people around her including her dogs Yukon and BO. She received her Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Seattle and later got her Master’s in counseling from Seattle Pacific University. This led her to become a special educational teacher and mentor for Seattle school districts. Jennifer was Grammy, Nana, a mother, wife, sister, best friend, mentor and role model.
