Jennifer Renee Santillano

Jennifer Renee Santillano entered into the loving arms of Our Lord on October 27, 2023 at the tender age of 41. She was born on December 14, 1981 in Beaumont Texas, to Jesse Santillano Jr. and Felis Villanueva.

Jennifer was a shining light in our lives, known for their infectious laughter and unwavering love for family and friends. Her warm and welcoming smile could light up any room and bring joy to even the darkest of days.Jennifer loved to enjoy life to the fullest. She was the joker in the family, always laughing. If she was serious, you knew it was a very serious situation, but Jennifer would still find ways to make it lighter. You could often find Jennifer going to bingo or gambling with her aunts, or singing her favorite songs. Which included songs from many different genres. Jennifer was an avid Starbucks cup collector. She had 30 plus cups,which helped because she loved ice. Most of all Jennifer was extremely caring and loving. She would make sure people felt comfortable and would show her love to all her family.

Jennifer is survived by her brother Jesse Santillano, sister in law Monica, nephews Ethan, Mason and Logan, Half Siblings Jermaine Santillano, Jacklyn Santillano, Jaime Santillano and Priscilla Santillano, her partner Delma Rodriguez , her dog Chula, along with a vast network of relatives and friends who will carry their memory forward with love and gratitude.

Though Jennifer's time with us was far too brief, the memories we shared will remain etched in our hearts forever. We take solace in knowing that they are now at peace, watching over us from above. As we come to terms with the profound loss of our dear Jennifer, let us remember them not for the years we were denied, but for the beautiful moments we were blessed to share. Jennifer may be gone from our sight, but they will never be gone from our hearts.

Jennifer will be reunited in heaven with her parents, Felis "Goby" Villanueva and Jessie Santillano Jr; and grandparents, Rudy and Francis Contreras. Rest in peace, dear Jennifer. You will be dearly missed, but your spirit will forever live on in our hearts.
