Survived by her lifelong soulmate of 18 years Kenneth Kinzler of Chicago and their daughter Lily (6) and dog Wrigley, both endlessly attached to her side. Her sister Susan (Stacey) Ramsey of Jonesboro, IL. Her two brothers Greg (Tammy) Larsen of Tacoma, WA. and Erik Larsen of Anna, IL. Her parents Lars and Carole Larsen of Anna, IL, along with multiple cherished cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles along with an extraordinarily diverse group of friends.

Jennifer was very active in her daughter Lily's school, the LaSalle Language Academy of Chicago in Old Town, along with St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Bucktown. She was an extraordinary chef, avid foodie, wine connoisseur and intrepid traveler; a bon vivant that thrived on exhilarating new experiences and adventures. Above everything, she was a loving daughter, faithful partner, trusted friend, and doting mother always willing to lend a helping hand or attentive ear to anyone in distress or needing support. Her boundless energy, outgoing personality, infectious smile, and endless positivity will be so greatly missed. And to those who didn't know her we send our deepest sympathy.
