Jennifer Bitel Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was born in Yale, Michigan on August 15, 1974, the daughter of Kathy (Thompson) Bitel and the late Harry Bitel.
Anyone that met Jennifer couldn't help but like her. She loved life and always thought of others first. She had a lifetime of medical trials, but she didn't let it get her down. She was the best daughter and sister anyone could ask for. Jennifer loved music, loved reading, loved to sing and enjoyed playing her keyboard. She loved all animals but had a special fondness for golden retrievers and loved nature as well. She loved Jesus and would sing and praise Him. She loved her family but also loved connecting with other people. Always so selfless and trying to uplift other people's spirits. She was always creative. Her cell phone gave her lots of entertainment at dialysis with audio books, music, playing Tetris and conversation. She loved playing scrabble at home.
Jennifer will forever be missed by her mother, Kathy; brother, Chad (Jessica); stepmother, Rose (Joe) Rumenapp; stepsister, Jeanne (Mike) Nichols; step nephew, Zechariah Varty as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
She was predeceased by her father Harry and grandparents.
