Jennifer’s life was not easy. She was a premature baby and struggled with life from the day she was born. She had her own problems and her husband was a two-time kidney recipient. She mothered two beautiful children, a daughter and a son. In spite of all her troubles she never forgot a special day. All her nieces and nephews gave her the nick name ‘sticker lady’ because she never forgot to sent them special stickers. She had a deep love for family and a large forgiving heart.

She is survived by her husband of 29 years and a daughter, Amanda Lee Bramley (Thomas) of Bordentown, NJ and a son, Jeremiah Hassel of Wrightstown, NJ and one grandson of 3 months, Axton Bramley, both parents and two siblings, Daphyne Ann Shimeall (Jon) of Bakersfield, CA and Bryan Carter (Lesli) and her paternal grandmother, Carole Pitts Woodard all of Montgomery, Alabama. Many Nieces and Nephews, Aunts and Uncles and cousins.
She was taken from this Earth at only 46 years but she lives on as a Hero. She was able to donate her kidneys, her heart and her liver to four different people who now have a second chance at life because of her gracious giving of herself. She will never be forgotten and will be forever missed.
