We couldn’t fathom what a moment would feel like without her until that moment happened on Monday, July 25, 2022.
Miss Jennifer was born on August 28, 1974, in Wausau, WI. She graduated from Estacado High School Special Education in 1996. She loved her time in school but not as much as she loved riding on the school bus! “Me go Mommy!” she would say. The challenges in her life were many and lifelong, yet she lived with such grace. With arms extended, she offered her signature hugs that said I love you to all. Her smiles were never ending all day long.
Music was an essential part of Jennifer’s life. From the Wheels on the Bus to the classical pianist Ludovico Einaudi, and everything in between, as long as the music was flowing in her being. Simple joys of Miss Jennifer’s were a bowl of popcorn and an episode of Prince of Bel-Air or Golden Girls, loving on her puppy dog, a dip in the pool, swinging in the park, eating pizza for dinner, Elmo, balloons, spending time with her niece, Mexican food, singing Happy Birthday to family and friends and helping everyone sing to her when it was her special day. She also enjoyed getting a haircut, dressing up as Elmo, any baked sweets and she loved to dance and twirl.
Miss Jennifer didn’t know her colors, numbers, or letters nor how to say her name, but she knew how to love unconditionally. She asked for nothing but to be a part of and to be with all. A lightworker she was and is now being rewarded for a lifetime of service. The lives that she touched and the lessons she taught are endless. She was the most compassionate, loving human being we have ever known, and how grateful we are to have been your Mommy and your Tony. How we are going to miss you! You forever live in our hearts now J. We’re forever grateful for all the love, joy, and life lessons you taught us! Thank you! Blowing you kisses! We love you!
Jennifer is survived by her parents, Ann and Tony Martin, Ken Pierzchalski; siblings, Winnde, Amy (Thomas) Tim; many nieces and nephews, and other family members; dog, Roxie; and her BFF Sasha, Jenn Jenn loved you so much!
She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents; her step-paternal grandparents; her stepmom, Dianne Pierzchalski; her group home mom, Grace Gonzales; her dogs, Kisha, and Sadie; and her cat, Kiki.
The family wished to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at Rescare, StarCare (R.S.), Comfort Keepers, and Calvert Home Health and Hospice. You all played vital roles in J’s life. Thank you.
