Jennifer Martin Obituary

To our Dear Jennifer,

I am remembering your trip to Orrville, OH, the town of your childhood and high school years. The date was July 10, 2021, the day before your 76th Birthday. The event was the Orrville High School, Class of ´63 reunion to celebrate our 76th Birthdays. What a fun and precious time we had together with you and Howard and dozens of your classmates. We reminisced old memories and made new ones! Now, on July 12th, 2025, the day after what would have been your 80th Birthday, your Howard and dozens of classmates are gathering again to celebrate our 80th birthdays, reminisce some more and make more new memories. We will be remembering you, Jen, and our friendships here in good old Orrville! By the grace of God, we octogenarians are thankful for the blessing of gathering once again!

After reading Jennifer's Obituary, she is definitely the shining star of our class. I was priviledged to have known her through Junior High and High School. We were band mates with Jen and Nancy Norris holding up the brass section of our band. Below is a picture of our French Club at Orrville High School with Jennifer in the middle. My heart goes out to her family. Sending love from Mexico, Sandra Kinsley Tuggle.

Sending sympathy to Jennifer´s family and friends. Jennifer was in our first grade class at Walnut Street School. She was even then, a tall, happy one, and felt she was so fortunate to be able to walk across the street to school, while I rode the bumpy bus. In HS, she was outstanding in Creative Dance Class, probably headed for something big, known for her strong character and caring spirit.

Jennifer was a classmate at Orrville High School (Ohio). She was very active in our band playing the trombone, and in our French club. She always had a smile and a kind word. One of our teachers had Jennifer and I over for fondue one night and we thought that was very cool. We both remained friends with that teacher until she passed away many years ago. I´m sorry for Jennifer´s loss because I always think of her as a graceful light beaming a smile of warmth. Be at peace.

I am so sorry for her suffering and death. I will remember her as a vivacious professor, dancer, and neighbor.
