It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Jennifer on July 9, 2021.
Jennifer was born in Thunder Bay February 28, 1984. She was a kind, generous and good-hearted person who raised peoples’ spirits when they were going through tough times. She made people laugh with her quick wit – her bubbly personality always shone through. Anyone who met her fell in love with her! Jennifer loved spending time with family and friends. Family functions and holidays were extra special to her. She particularly loved children and was always around nephews, nieces and her friend’s little ones – often being teased that she was “one of the kids”.
Jen attended Westmount and Westgate schools and Confederation College. In her younger years she enjoyed soccer, high school basketball and as a young lady she especially enjoyed years of modelling, attending competitions in Toronto. She was a loving sister to big brother Stephen and embraced her step sisters whom she spent much time with growing up – as a little sister to Kara and Melissa and a big sis to Tanya.
Jennifer was an active member of the Hope Christian Reformed Church, where she married the love of her life Richard on August 31, 2012. She was involved in the vacation bible school and looked after the children in the church nursery. Her faith was very important to her.
Jennifer is survived by her husband Richard Cramer, mother Norma Malcolm, father and step-mom Al and Gerrie Tennant, brother Stephen and his son Trent, step-sister Kara (Greg – Kaleigh, Madisyn) Bolduc of Winnipeg, Melissa Doran, Tanya Doran of Toronto, grand parents Miriam and Glen Kettering, in-laws Fred and Alice Cramer, sister-in-law Carolyn (James – Benjamin, Lily, Lucas, Jacob) DeGroot, brother-in-law David (Tiffany – Gerrit, Reagan, Darcy, Wyatt) Cramer, sister-in-law Lynda Cramer. Numerous aunts and uncles – Ken (Sandra) Tennant, Karen Nicholas (Bob), Jan Middleton (Wayne), Warren (Lorna) Kettering, Gord (Deb) Kettering of Blackfalds AB, Susan Kettering of Red Deer AB, Glenna Kettering, Jeff (Azure) Kinch of Victoria B.C., Scott Kinch, and Gord Doran of Kenora. Also survived by numerous cousins.
Predeceased by grandparents Holly and Gordon Tennant, step dad Bill Malcolm, Uncle Don Kettering and Uncle Jim Nicholas.
Jennifer will be forever held in our hearts. Her life was a blessing to us all – we treasure each moment spent with her.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God – Ephesians 2:8
