Jen always made my day! A beautiful smile and love to all she met. I am so grateful our paths crossed. Hugs and love to you all!

I am so sorry Jan was one of the kindest people I have ever met. We became close when our boys were friends during the early years at Saint Joe’s such fond memories I have of her my condolences to the entire family on your loss. May peace find your hearts

Jen was one of the kindest souls I have ever had the privilege of working with, and then calling my friend. We met while working for State Farm and even after distance and life moves separated us, it always warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face to hear from her. Jen's bright light will be very much missed. Rest easy my friend.

I love you Jen and you know that. My heart goes out to the whole family and everyone who adores the seeet and amazingly caring soul she is and will always be.

Jen was the real deal as a compassionate human being. She had a loving, caring demeanor at all times. Everyone on the Public Affairs team loved her. She truly loved her sons and her family and shared their important moments. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. God bless the family as they mourn her death.

Jen was a co-worker that quickly became a friend. I'll never forget the rides in her green Toyota Highlander to Whole Foods for a healthy lunch with a side of laughter. She had such a good outlook on life that I will miss. My heart goes out to her other friends, her family, and especially her two boys that she absolutely loved.

This news was so hard to hear. I loved working with Jen. She was real and kind. Her excellent work ethic was dependable. She always strived to do things the right way! Jen had a way of making you feel good about yourself. She was one of the great ones and will be terribly missed.

I am sending love and prayers to all of you for the journey ahead.

I worked with Jen for many years at State Farm. Have so many great memories of us laughing and having a great time. We also shared a lot of stories of our kids since her boys were the same ages of my son and daughter. I hope all the best for them and pray God comforts them!

Jen was so much more than just fun loving, energetic, and kind. I’ll miss her sharing stories about the boys. She was there for me whenever I needed 24/7. A quick call on the way to the airport before a girls trip or a text on the weekend with something I had forgotten about, it didn’t matter she was always there. Didn’t think of her as a co-worker to be honest, more of a “work mom.” I’ll never forget getting her input on rings before I proposed to my future wife. Later on when we welcomed our baby girl into the world she was over the moon! We lived and worked hundreds of miles away and actually never met in person, thanks COVID. My heart goes out to the entire family. Raising a glass to you Jen for a race well run.

I have been struggling all morning to find the right words. It's this simple, Jen was the most amazing woman. She was a wonderful mother who couldn't have been more proud of her boys. She was a boy mom through and through. She cared deeply for her friends and family, and it showed in everything she did. I only had the pleasure of getting to know her in the last 5 years, but I will cherish our talks. She was always able to talk me off a ledge and make me smile. Caio Bella! You will forever hold a place in my heart!

I’ll remember Jen for her solid unwavering friendship, her talents and many great qualities, and for the fun and memorable moments we shared as friends.

Many people think of her proudly and rightfully so. As I continue to honor her memory, I will marvel in her keen ability to bring things to the table. And not only showing up, but showing up with a well thought-out plan, no stone unturned, and making it appear effortless. Solid in her approach and fearless. She amazed me with the way she perfectly balanced strength, determination, and gentleness, and maintained a positive view and kept it all completely organized to a T.

It’s clear to me that Ben and Evan are a tribute to Jen’s beautiful qualities and a fine reflection of the commitment that came first and foremost in her life. She soared to the highest heights when it came to motherhood and nurturing a solid foundation and a peaceful home.

Jen’s tenacious dedication to her family and loving soul was easily and clearly recognized by anyone who had the privilege of crossing paths with her. Gentle, kind and caring, yet tactfully fierce when needed.

I will miss Jen and the ways she touched my life. For all that I learned from her and all that we shared. Just knowing her was a pleasure. She knew how to live life to the fullest. Having her in my corner and as a confidante has been a privilege that changed my life. I will always be grateful. She will perpetually live on in a place in my heart that only she will ever occupy.

I know she would encourage us to journey-on and remember happy times. As I write, I can hear her say… All good. You got this.. I’ll fill you in on what to do when you get here.

Safe passage my friend. I love you and will carry the light of your loving memory always.

Sending heartfelt sympathy and condolences from my family to all family members and to others mourning the sad loss of Jen Mader, an incredible woman.

Sending my love and prayers to the family and work family. Jen was an amazing co-worker.

Jen was the most beautiful light. I will always remember her kindness in embracing me when I first started to partner with her at work. She never stopped extending that kindness. She would drop anything to help me over the years & give me guidance. I will miss her dearly, especially our conversations about being busy Moms - the joy in her voice when talking about her boys... her greatest purpose! I have been praying and will continue to pray for her and her sweet family. May you feel God's comfort, love and strength in the days to come.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

My heart is so sad today hearing of Jen’s passing. I just adored this strong smart chick! I loved working with her, but I also was happy to just call her my friend, when I was no longer her boss. I always loved hearing about her latest concert, and hearing the stories about her boys, who she loved more than anything. I just wish I could have given her one last big hug. You will be missed Jen!

So sorry to hear about Jen. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and especially her boys. They were the center of Jen's world and she spoke about them often when I had calls with her at work. My deepest condolences for your loss.

Jen and I began working together a little more than 5 years ago. She was such a joy to work with and was so helpful to me when I joined the team. Jen was someone that everyone could count on to help them through whatever challenges they were facing. She always took it upon herself to mentor our newest team members. She always thought of others and looked for opportunity to help.

She loved sharing how Evan and Benjamin were doing. She was so proud of them. We enjoyed talking about the projects we had going on around our homes. Jen would always ask how my family was doing. I will miss Jen and I know she will be missed by many others.

Jen was an awesome human being. I was fortunate to have worked with her for many years and loved hearing the stories and how proud she was of her two boys. There are some that go through life with no impact to others, Jen was not one of those. Jen impacted so many positively and will be greatly missed. God Bless you Jen.
