Jennifer enjoyed working for many years at Heartland Industries of Moorhead MN. Jennifer loved her family which extended to the residents and caregivers at the Hawley Group Home. She was a fun-loving joyful person and had a spunk to her that is matched by no one. Jennifer loved many things; singing, listen to music, helping with craft projects and going to musical plays. One of Jennifer?s biggest joys was to look beautiful. She loved to go shopping for new clothes and costume jewelry, getting her hair done, having her finger nails painted and putting on some makeup. She was a true fashionista! Jennifer also loved animals and kids; they were all her ?baby?s?! Jennifer also had some great adventures, she loved going to Camp HERO, Wisconsin Dells, and Nashville. Jennifer?s fun-loving vivacious personality will be truly missed. A private memorial service is planned. Interment will follow in the Evergreen Cemetery in Alexandria. Arrangements are with the Anderson Funeral Home.
