Jasmine's obituary

Known as “Jazzy,” “Jazzy-Bear,” and more, Jasmine Greenidge lived a happy 13 years with her family. She was born in the Bronx, New York and was brought to Columbus, Ohio, where she would find her forever-home. There she became the best friend of a woman and her two children. Jasmine narrowly survived a dangerous surgery in 2017 but made a stunning recovery and went on to continue her life until she became too ill to keep going due to old age. She passed on September 28, 2021 and was laid to rest on September 29, 2021.

Throughout her life, Jazz had been happy, vibrant, courageous, and selfless. She wholly stepped into her role as protective spirit when the family introduced a new baby and played nanny to an abandoned kitten. Everyone who met her loved her and could feel the love from her. She greeted all with tail wags and toe kisses. She loved hearing the piano being played and would appear any time to listen to it; she put on a tough face in adversity to make sure everyone was taken care of; she was a big fan of sweet potatoes and carrots; she provided reliable back transport to a little hamster once and played tag with him while he was in his ball. She loved small children no matter how they annoyed her sometimes. And if you were sad, she would sit beside you and not leave until she was sure you felt better.

In her last days, Jazz delegated her duties as household guardian and bathroom sentry to her little dog sister Tiana, who did her best to make sure to prove she could fulfill the role. She was surrounded by people she loved in her final days, including her beloved vet and her staff, who did an amazing job keeping her with us as long as they could.

Jazzy-Bear, you are loved and will be missed. <3 We are happy you can rest in power and comfort and that you can leave behind a number of stories that will be told for as long as we’re able to tell them.

Jasmine goes on to join the hamsters Ziggurat 8 (“Ziggy”), Hamlet, Ziozephiroth (“Zeph”), and Ezio Fortinbras on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. She leaves behind not only her human family, but her little dog sister Tiana (“Tee-tee”), her dog cousin Violet, and her cat friends Hekatos and Nyx.
