Jennifer Petersen

Jennifer Petersen, daughter of Craig and Maradee Petersen, passed away peacefully in her sleep on September 16, 2017. Jenny was born in Logan, Utah on July 12, 1979 and immediately faced many challenges, both physically and mentally. Jenny experienced many problems throughout her life, but always amazed us with her ability to fight and bounce back. Her laugh was totally infectious and she enjoyed curling up next to someone on the couch. Jenny was definitely loved by her family and all those who worked with her.
Jenny’s greatest joy in life was trick-or-treating (which she pretty much did year round), and she always insisted on wearing the same witch costume. She loved parties of all kinds and the family Christmas Eve party with Santa was a highlight for her. The Christmas lights around the front porch of the house became “party lights” in January so that Jenny could still see them every night.
Jenny is survived by her parents and her three sisters and their families: Chalyce (Ken) Nollsch of Denver, Colorado; Lisa (Jon) Gunther of Highland, Utah; and Michelle (Jason) Gibson of North Logan. She was preceded in death by her wonderful grandparents, Lorna and Ernest Siler and Wanda and Harold Petersen.
The family wishes to express our profound appreciation to all the caretakers, teachers, and medical personnel who have so professionally and lovingly helped Jenny throughout the years, especially those with Cache Employment and Chrysalis.
