Jennifer A. Rubin of Rock Tavern, NY entered into rest November 28, 2010 at Danbury Hospital in Danbury, CT. She was 36 years old.
Jennifer was born in Patterson, NJ on February 1, 1974 to Mark L. and Barbara (Ebert) Rubin.
Jennifer was an amazingly beautiful person in every aspect of her being. Until the age of 17 she enjoyed life as a vibrant personality who lit up any room she walked into. In 1991, the summer before her senior year in Washingtonville High School, Jennifer was in a tragic automobile accident in which she sustained a traumatic brain injury. Her life was forever changed and she remained severely disabled as a result of her injury. But with all Jenn’s limitations, she continued to light up a room with her laughter and big smile. She carried herself with great pride and dignity and had unbelievable courage to move forward with her life and live every day to its fullest. Because of all the special people who cared for and loved her, Jenn woke each morning with a smile on her face, excited to start her day. She touched all who knew her and her ability to capture everyone’s heart was beyond compare. Jenn was truly a Blessing and the world around her was made better because she was there.
Jennifer is survived by her loving parents, Mark L. and Barbara Rubin of Rock Tavern, NY; sister, Amy and her husband Jeff O’Connor ; nephews, Ryan and Tommy O’Connor all of Moorestown, NJ.
