Both of her parents grew up in large families that had 12 and10 children in each. She always had someone to hang out with. She had 7 grandkids: McKinley, Kalvin, Eloise, Olivia, Avery, Braelynn and Brighton. Jen always loved being with her girls on trips. All 3 girls played traveling volleyball that took them around the state. Jen loved to go watch boxing all of her life. In their youth, her brother Jason and cousins Keith and Lloyd boxed. Breanna, Kody, Abby and Kory were also in boxing in their youth. She still enjoyed going to cheer Keith on at events into adulthood. She even became a judge, so she had another reason to be around the sport. Jen always loved her adventures and having fun with family. Her favorite summer adventure was going out riding on Sweet Caroline, her bright yellow ATV. She went out on her bike any chance she got with her headphones and for a while she even had a phone with all her favorite music, that she called her music phone. She always listened to “Sweet Caroline”, on her rides. You could always tell what she was listening to because she would be loudly singing the words. In 2010, she started working at Ramsay School. She started as a part time employee. She loved all of the kids, and they loved their Ms. Jen. Later in her employment, at Ramsay, she accepted a special education paraprofessional position. She was great with all the kids, even the ones that could be more difficult. She just knew the right things to say. She was also employed part time with Aware. She loved the projects and activities that they could do together. She loved it just as much as the kids. Halloween in Rocker was one of her favorite things to host. Everyone would go trick or treat the night before Halloween, and she would have a big batch of chili ready. She wanted everyone to stop by eat and warm up. She loved to have everyone together and get to see all of the trick or treaters. Jen lived her life to the fullest and without caring what anyone thought of her. She was a carefree spirit that had no filter when she would speak. She collected heart rocks anytime she found them and had the girls doing the same. Purple sunflowers and her outdoor space made her happy. She would hang out on her patio or outside to watch the sunset and stars. She wanted to be surrounded by the things she thought were beautiful. Her family was one of her favorite things. Anytime she could get everyone together to go bowling or just be together was one of her favorite things. She loved her big family more than anything. Jen is proceeded in death by her daughter Tiffany and numerous aunts and uncles that she loved dearly. She is survived by Tesia (Zach) Gillam, Breanna (Andrew) Ostrander Lexie Hazel, her best friend and brother Jason, her little buddy Skeeter Peeter, both of her parents, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and all her siblings.
