Jennifer was an avid gardener and enjoyed spending time with her flowers and animals at her family home.

She loved to cook and bake, and was famous for her family recipes. She was totally devoted to her family and close friends and she treasured every moment that she had with her daughter Hannah and the rest of her loving family.
