She was born on April 15, 1956, the daughter of Lewis and Marie Teresa (Beladino) Friddle. Jennifer graduated from Muncie Burris High School in 1974. She married Larry Wells in the most beautiful wedding in Oahu, Hawaii on August 28, 2005. They lived in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii for several years.
Jennifer was employed by Chevrolet in Muncie for two years, GM Truck Stamping Plant in Indianapolis for two years, and in the office at Marsh Warehouse in Yorktown for five years. She was presently employed at Magna Powertrain in Muncie.
Jennifer was a wonderful and kind person, who always had a kind word for everyone. She had a great sense of humor, and was always joking about something. She loved to cook, was great at cooking, and had some delicious recipes. Her homemade beef and noodles were the best. Her spaghetti sauce was also the best because it was made from a recipe from her mother’s Italian family.
Jennifer loved to plant flowers and had some of the most beautiful flowers you’ve ever seen. Her favorite thing to do was spend time with Larry, her dog, Paisley, and sit on her front porch in her rocking chair and drink coffee. She will be so sadly missed by her family. She was a joy to be around. She will especially be missed by her sister, Jan, who was her best friend, and nephew, Steve.
Jennifer is survived by her husband of fifteen years, Larry; sons, Ryan (wife, Patricia Louise Logan), Jason, Zack, and Rick; sister, Jan (husband, Jay) Henderson; nephews, Steve Koenker, Jason Henderson, Mark Friddle, Jonathan Friddle; and niece, Faith Krest.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Marie Friddle; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Russell and Betty Wells; a brother, James Friddle; grandparents, Joseph and Anna Beladino; grandmother, Gladys Minnich; and best friend from grade school, Sandy Campbell.
The family would like to thank special friends from work, April and Teresa, her friends from Magna Powertrain that took up a collection for Jennifer and brought it to her home with beautiful flowers and a card. She was so appreciative of that. Also, Dan Brooks, James Houser, Bret and Sandy McKay, and Jeremy; and friends, Bruce and Kay Piner. The family would also like to extend gratitude to neighbors Judy and Melissa who helped take care of Jennifer while she was sick.
The family would also like to thank Dr. Komanapalli, all of the nurses and respiratory therapists, and everyone else at I.U. Health Ball Memorial Hospital for your kind care while Jennifer was sick.
