Born in Silver Spring, MD, on Sept. 28,1970, Jennifer was the cherished daughter of the late Jack Wilson Jr.  and Mary Lashway (Nuzzi), and her adored stepfather, Joseph Nuzzi, whom she loved as dearly as her father.

Jennifer had a heart of gold. She was a kind, thoughtful, and beautiful person who touched the lives of so many. Her generosity and warmth will be missed deeply by all who knew her. Preceding her in death were several aunts and uncles from her mother’s large family, her Aunt Bessie, Uncle Lee, grandma and grandpa Wilson, as well as her special great-nephew, Parker Shoemaker, who, like Jennifer, left us too soon but will always be remembered.

In 1983, Jennifer moved to Williamsburg, MA, with her parents and worked at their family restaurant, The Woodside, until her graduation from high school. She went on to study mathematics at the University of Hartford, which led to a successful career in finance and technology. Jennifer began at Securities, Software & Consulting as a quality assurance tester, where she contributed to the development of multi-currency and average cost accounting features. She later joined Conning & Company, where she designed reporting suites for internal and external clients. At Eagle Investment Accounting, she took on sales and implementation roles eventually relocating to Zurich for a year to manage a large implementation project.

Her time abroad allowed her to travel extensively, visiting remarkable places such as South Africa, Zanzibar, Pangkor Laut Island, China, and many parts of Europe, she even had the unique experience of traveling on the Orient Express.

After returning to the United States. Jennifer pursued her passion for travel as an agent with Boundless Travel, helping others plan their dream vacations. She also worked as a sales associate at White House Black Market. Jennifer loved hosting gatherings with friends and family, cooking, game nights, and her passion for country music. She was an avid attendee of country music festivals, especially with her favorite Kenny Chesney, often enjoying backstage meet-and-greet passes and let us not forget her love of football and her favorite team the “Washington Redskins” In her leisure time, Jennifer enjoyed relaxing on the beaches of Mexico and the Dominican Republic (her happy places) Her pride and joy was her adopted dog Britby, who delighted all in showing off her stylish wardrobe. She also adored her other adoptee, Georgia, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Jennifer will be deeply missed, but her spirit, generous heart, and love will remain with us forever. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, love, and cherished memories.
