METCALF, Jennifer Lynn Metcalf (Cropper) - September 12th, 2024

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Jennifer Lynn Cropper Metcalf, of Oshawa, on September 12^th, 2024 at the age of 51 years.

Jennifer will be remembered always by her husband of 22 years, Lloyd; her twin children:  Dylan and Eden; parents Brian and Judith Cropper; sister Tricia (Robert) Lehecka and nieces Nicole and Brooke; stepmother to Lloyd H (Diana), Marlow and grandmother to Lillian; as well as numerous relatives and friends.

After graduation from Ajax High School, Jennifer attended McMaster University where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree (psychology and sociology) in 1994.  Jennifer continued her studies in later years receiving a diploma in Medical Office Administration from Durham College.

Jennifer’s world revolved around her two children, whom she cherished and supported with boundless love. She was her children's biggest cheerleader, making sure to show up to every sport, academic and artistic event. One of her proudest contributions to the community was her years spent volunteering at their elementary school. She was the most thoughtful mother, effervescently devoting her time to thinking about her children.

Jennifer's compassion extended to all who crossed her path. She contributed generously to local food drives and donation centres, especially during the holiday seasons in committed efforts to support those in need. Throughout her time spent on earth, she provided a loving and happy home for her dogs and cats. She was an avid lover and advocate for animals, and having provided a beautiful home for her rescue dog, she encouraged others to consider adoption as a loving alternative. She was exceptionally nurturing, and treated all children with the very same care and affection she provided her own. Jen had the most beautiful soul and made such an incredible impact on so many people's lives. She will forever be remembered for her genuine, loving personality, contagious laugh, and every-present smile.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
