In Celebration of
Jennifer Schaefer
November 22, 1967 –
February 24, 2024
It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved “Jenny”. She was a cherished wife to Todd and a devoted, loving mother to her sons, Johnny (Zara), and Matthew. She departed from this world on February 24th, 2024, after an admirable, hard-fought battle with cancer.
Jennifer was a loving daughter to Albin and Helen Melisek as well as a wonderful sister to Joe (Tami) Melisek, Julie (Gary) Frauts, Mark (Kim Bell) Melisek, Mike (Lori-Ann Gideon) Melisek. Jennifer was a special daughter in law to Marianne (John) Schaefer as well as a wonderful sister-in-law to Kelly Schaefer and Allison (Mark) Montag. She was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews, Maddie (Dakota), Mitch, Christopher (Breanne) (Jonah), Emily (Tim), Jordan (Ivy), Olivia, James, Julia, Owen, Courtney, Haylie, Aiden, and Emma. Jennifer also leaves behind a tremendous group of friends.
Her absence leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled however, her infectious laugh and smile will live on forever. Jenny’s life was a testament to love, kindness, and unwavering strength. She approached every day with a gentle grace and a resilient spirit that inspired all who knew her. Her warmth and compassion touched the hearts of many. Her personality and sense of humor will be fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
As a wife, Jenny shared a deep and enduring bond with Todd, a partnership built on love, respect, and mutual support. Together, they navigated life’s joys and challenges with a steadfast commitment to each other’s happiness. The most important thing to each of them was their family as they continued to live daily with the common goal of doing everything for their boys.
It was her role as a mother that Jenny truly shone brightest. Her love for Johnny and Matthew knew no bounds, and she poured her heart and soul into nurturing and supporting them every step of the way instilling in them the values of integrity, compassion, and perseverance. As they pursued their passions, Jenny stood steadfastly by their side offering encouragement, guidance, and constant support that have shaped the men they have become.
Among Jenny’s many passions, her love for her boys’ hockey was unmatched. She was the epitome of a “hockey mom” – fierce in her loyalty, unwavering in her dedication, and endlessly supportive of Johnny and Matthew’s pursuits on the ice. Jenny was their biggest cheerleader, her presence a source of comfort and inspiration to her boys.
Jenny’s legacy as a devoted wife, loving mother, and dedicated hockey mom will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Though she may no longer be physically present, her spirit of love, laughter, and devotion will continue to inspire and guide us in the days ahead.
As we mourn Jenny’s passing, let us take solace in the beautiful memories we shared and the profound impact she had on our lives. May her love and legacy serve as a beacon of light in our darkest moments, reminding us of the power of love, family, and dedication.
Rest in peace, dear Jenny. Your love, laughter, and indomitable spirit will forever be cherished and deeply missed. In honoring Jenny’s memory, let us find comfort in the knowledge that she has found peace, surrounded by love, and embraced by the eternal light. You will forever be loved.
