The only thing Jennifer loved more than her family and friends was nature and the outdoors, especially the wildlife.Often, the highlight of any National Park vacation or Florida State park visit was the animals.Rare and unusual was great, but even common critters made her happy.(Prairie dogs were her favorite.)
Jen created a true wildlife sanctuary at her home in Jupiter Farms. She hosted rabbits, songbirds, hummingbirds, ducks, turtles, bats, bees and more on her property, but was especially proud of the number and variety of butterflies she fed and ‘lodged’.This year, the Atala butterflies and caterpillars were especially numerous which thrilled her because they’re her favorite.
Jennifer LOVED The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary and had been a regular donor for years.She loved the work they did, the animals they saved and the education they provided.She was really thrilled when they moved to their new location, and insisted we visit whenever I was in town. She was truly happy when she learned she could host a donations page and continue to help.
