Jennifer Alise Johnson

December 7, 1973 - March 11, 2022

With sadness and love, we celebrate the life of our true friend and family member, Jennifer Johnson, who passed away on March 11th, 2022, at the age of 48. Jennifer was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on December 7, 1973, to Barbara Wilson (Jon) Ryan and Herm (Marie) Johnson. She married Andrew Connolly in September 2012. She was a Registered Nurse, graduating from University of Texas 2011 with a Bachelor’s in Nursing and prior to that from Grand Valley State University in 1995. Jennifer took pride in being able to help care for others and specialized in wound care management, where she was able to directly treat and help patients. Jennifer loved to travel and lived in Singapore and England as well as traveling to Asia and Europe whenever she could. She was a beautiful spirit in body and mind. Jennifer lit up the room when she entered, was a fearless enthusiastic conspirator and an infectious spirit that encouraged all that knew her. Jennifer was Buddhist and her faith provided guidance and support on the challenging journey she faced at the end of her life. She approached that journey with grace and dignity supported by her faith, family, and friends. Besides her husband and parents, Jennifer is survived by her brother, Greg Johnson, stepsisters, Erin Meyer, Katie Tester, Michelle Vermeulen, Ruth Edin and Julie Wilson, grandmothers, Jacqueline Wilson and Thelma Johnson, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, sister-in-law, Sarah Connolly and many close friends who all loved her dearly. Both grandfathers, Hazen Wilson and Alvin Johnson, preceded her in death. A memorial service of Jennifer’s life will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 19, 2022, at The Spring Lake Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 213 E. Savidge St., Spring Lake, MI 49456 Friends may meet the family one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Interment will take place following the service at Spring Lake cemetery. Share memories with the family at their online guest book at www.sytsemafh.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Jennifer’s memory to: Kadampa Meditation Center Houston PO Box 667642 Houston, TX 77266-7643
