With a degree in Horticulture, Jennifer was an avid gardener with a keen eye on landscape design. Her passion for creating beauty both inside and outside is carried on through her children and grandchildren.   A consummate bridge player, Jennifer took great joy in spending time with the equally enthusiastic players at the Baker Street Women's Club - Owen Sound.  Jennifer lived with grace and dignity, surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of her home in Jackson Cove where a celebration of her life will be held at a date to be determined in the summer.
