Jennifer will forever be remembered for her love and devotion to Jesus and the Lord. She praised and loved Him her entire life, which is what lead to her final love story with her husband, Steven. They met in church and were on the mission fields in Nicaragua together, and he was blessed to meet the true soul that she was. Jennifer was always dancing, singing, and trying to feed anyone and everyone she encountered. She always had an open-door policy to anyone she met and would never let anyone go without. She loved to see and make everyone she loved happy. She loved her grandchildren more than anything in this world, and devoted much of her time to making sure she was always there with and for them, even if she had to travel nine hours to do so. She loved all animals and things, but the white tiger was always her favorite. She loved her four-legged children and grandchildren. She LOVED Mexican food. She loved going for walks and would spend hours in nature, doing anything that would make her feel more connected to the Lord. Jennifer loved and embraced every part of life like no other. She had an energy that was contagious, and her hugs made you feel like you were wrapped in the largest and safest blanket, so warm and filled with endless love. Jennifer was a one-of-a-kind soul that will be forever missed by everyone who ever had the honor of knowing her. Family and friends will be received at Goldfinch Funeral Home in Conway, South Carolina on Thursday, November 16, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. until noon. There will be a private family luncheon between 12-1 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., Jennifer will be buried and laid to rest in her final resting place at North Myrtle Beach Memorial Gardens.
