Jennifer will be sorely missed by her many aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as all of the people she spent so much of her time with in the many groups she was involved with over the years.
Whether it was going to the YMCA for walking, swimming or a fitness class, or, meeting with her TOPS ladies, or her friends in the Grove, or her meetings and groups she was a part of in the CAREA, Jennifer was a very busy person. Jennifer was an avid fan of WWE wrestling, the Oshawa Generals hockey team, and so many more activities, but, her biggest love was for her 4-legged companions.
She gave Zoe (followed by a short ownership of dear Bailey), the best of care and they made her life so complete.
Special thanks to all of the doctors, nurses, technicians, and all the staff in the Emergency Department and CC ICU for the excellent, and never wavering care they provided Jennifer.
A Celebration of Jennifer's Life will be held in the near future. Details to be placed on her Facebook page when arrangements are made.
