If you were ever looking for someone to go on a rescue mission with or simply gush over adorable animal videos together, Jennifer was your girl.  Animals of all kinds held a special place in her heart. 

Family was everything to her, being surrounded by loved ones and creating cherished momenty was what truly gave her joy and fulfillment.

She was  lucky enough to have found her soulmate of 21 years, John Smith, and together they created their own loving little universe. 

She always said "Dreams don't work unless you do." She firmly believed in putting in the effort, being passionate about what she did, and constantly pushed her limits. Always inspiring others and celebrated achievements along the way!  She was honored to be a professor, sharing knowledge with eager minds. Achieving her master's degree from Harvard University was a surreal experience for her, which shaped her perspective profoundly.   She took pride in expanding her knowledge, engaging in intellectual conversations, and sprinkling in a touch of humor whenever possible.

Making a positive impact in the lives of others was her mantra. Jennifer was actively involved in her community, lending a hand to those in need. 

Growing in a snow-covered wonderland brings back so many beautiful memories. She loved the serene beauty and cozy vibes of winter absolutely enchanting and was reluctant to trade in her boots and snow banks for flip flops and palm trees but her sense of adventure didn't hold her back.  Jennifer and John moved to their own little piece of paradise in 2003 but never missed a Christmas in their snowy Vermont hometown, surrounded by friends and family.
