It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jennifer Carlson on September 18, 2023. Born on March 10, 1985, Jennifer's life was characterized by a vibrant spirit, a knack for creativity, and a deep love for her family and pets.

She was predeceased by her mother, Jacqueline Bollinger. She will be greatly missed by those she left behind, but they will forever cherish the precious memories they shared with her.
A talented artist, Jennifer had a natural affinity for pencils, paint brushes, wood-burning, and other mediums. She had a passion for exploring and treasured the time she spent in the outdoors. Jennifer had a playful side and loved to stir the pot just a bit, always keeping things interesting. Her favorite foods included manicotti and her music taste was broad, embracing everything but country. Jennifer's favorite local spots were at home and immersed in nature, while any new location she hadn't yet visited was her favorite vacation spot.
Jennifer was a woman of strength and courage, full of boldness and sass. She was intelligent and adventurous, yet caring. Her favorite colors were red, black, and purple, mirroring her vivacious and colorful personality. She was an entrepreneur and took great pride in buying her Duramax, a symbol of her tenacity and hard work.
She loved her three cats, Rue, Reload, and Momma Juliet, and her dog, Buster Baby, deeply. In lieu of flowers, donations to a fund "In Memory of Jennifer Carlson" are appreciated. The link to the fund is: https://everloved.com/life-of….
