Jennifer Nicole Burton, a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished daughter, and adored sister, passed away unexpectedly on November 22, 2024, at the age of 39. Her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of her husband, Jeff, and their two children, McKenna (20) and Ryker (7), as well as all who were fortunate enough to know her.

​

Born on July 19, 1985 in Holland, MI.  Jen was the brightest of lights and brought joy, laughter, and love to everyone she met. She had an extraordinary ability to make people feel valued and cared for, and she dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her family. All who knew the bottomless heart of this incredible spirit, would say that Jen was "the glue" that held us all together.  Jen's love for her children was boundless, and her love and commitment for Jeff was unwavering. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, and togetherness. 

​

Jen had a special love for sea turtles, enjoyed gardening and family cookouts, and had a snappy sense of humor that will be cherished by all.  She was known for her kind and selfless heart, her infectious smile, and her ability to bring people together. Her legacy is one of love, compassion, and a deep commitment to family.

​

Jennifer is survived by her husband, Jeff; her children, McKenna and Ryker; her parents,  Sissy Finch and Brian Burton; siblings, Gerald Redwine (Shandra) and Mati Uildriks, a large extended family; and countless friends whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

​

A celebration of Jen’s life will be held on Saturday, November 30, from 11:30am to 2pm at Park Church in Holland, MI (details below). The family kindly asks for donations to be made to a memorial fund to support her children's future .

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, and her spirit will forever be a guiding light for her family.
