I used to live in #8 at the Moorings. I  needed a personal nurse at home the night after a surgery I was having.  I didn't know her well then, but she agreed to do it.  She was absolutely wonderful!  Best nurse I've every had in my life.  We became good friends after that, enjoying drinks on the patio, etc.  I still miss her very much.  I did not have enough time with her.


Jennifer and I were classmates, working side by side on our Masters in Healthcare Administration.  What a joy this experience was!  In part,  because of this sweet, humble soul.  She spoke of her role as a nurse and clearly was honored  to perform her unique duties in caring for patients.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and the friends who delighted in her presence.  

May you rest in peace , dear Jennifer. 

Sincerely, 
Barbara McCarthy Vertz

Elly, Barbara and family.  I am so sorry to hear of Jennifer's passing.   She was a great friend throughout High School.  I only wish we had stayed in touch more over the past years.    May God's eternal peace comfort you and may the memories of Jennifer sustain you and delight you in the years to come.

Had the privilege of working with Jennifer at Mayo Clinic. She was a kind and dedicated nurse who was respected and liked by her co-workers and loved by all her patients. My sympathies to her family who I know she adored. 

My condolences to the family and close friend. I had the privilege to know Jennifer. Who was part of our department staff at Mayo Clinic. Very dedicated and smart nurse. May she Rest In Peace. May God be your strength and comfort during these difficult times.

Our sweet friend Fly high on that mountain.
We will miss your smiles and laughter.
I will miss our chats.
A beautiful lady with lots of love.
We will see one another one day.

Love always Donna & Butch.

I first met Jennifer through her Dad, John.  I had done John and Ely's taxes for years and John felt like Jennifer needed some help because of her Avon business.  She remained a client for years, long after she began her nursing career.  Jennifer was a strong young lady who worked hard at everything she did.  I was proud of her efforts and know John would have expressed his pride if we could hear his voice.  To her Mom, to John and Danielle and her grandchildren, and Barbara and Tony, my sincere condolences. May the Peace of God, that passes all understanding, give each of you comfort and rest.  With love and sincerity.  Jim and Sue Sinn

I remember Jennifer from Terry Parker High School. She was always fun to be around. I am praying 🙏 for her family during this time. 

Remember the first time we met.Best day ever.I was blessed.


Jennifer was a great neighbor who became a wonderful friend for over 10 years. We spent many an hour poolside having cocktails and talking sometimes about nothing much and other times in depth about our lives. We talked a lot about her beloved grandchildren. She loved them so much. Recently I shared a picture of my newest and she said"he's almost as cute as mine". She was always so sweet to our granddaughter Ava and seemed to have an endless supply of red licorice for her.  She was so dedicated to her mother and always tried to make sure she was included in the Mooring's festivities, especially if oysters we're involved. She loved to read for hours poolside. She was just such a great friend who will be missed by so many.  RIP my friend, I know you're watching down on us with your daddy, who even though I never met him, I know you adored. Til we meet again. Love ya.

Jennifer was a great daughter, mother, grandmother, and friend.  I know she is with her dad, and they are holding each other tightly. Myself and many others will miss her greatly. I’m fortunate to have known Jennifer, and I’m left with many wonderful memories. The world was a better place with her in it. 🌹

I have sweet memories of Jennifer from when she was in high school. Her mom and I taught together at Terry Parker  Baptist  Preschool and the 4 teachers and families often got together. We always had so much fun together. What a great family. About a year or so ago we ran into Jennifer and Elly at lunch and   It was a great time talking about old times. Much love and many prayers to Jennifer's  family. 
Donna and Ned Hastings. 

We will miss your sweet spirit, beautiful smile and laughter.  Rest in peace dear Jennifer.
Love,
Rick & Fran

I have many happy memories of Jennifer when we were students at Terry Parker High School.  She was very, very intelligent and just filled with  a sense of adventure and fun. The sky was truly the limit with her and I’ll always remember her big beautiful smile and her absolute joy in her children when we caught up after High School. Sending love to her family 

So many fond memories of Jennifer. We worked together for several years at Mayo Clinic in the Pacemaker clinic. She was an amazing nurse and mentor to me!! I will never forgive all she taught me and the friendship we had! RIP Jennifer.

I have many wonderful memories of Jennifer—from the time when she was small to her dancing with her son at his wedding. Our Thanksgiving holidays as kids were never complete without our cousins Barbara and Jennifer sharing them with us.  Jennifer’s sweet, caring spirit will be greatly missed.   My love and prayers go out to all of your family.
