Jennifer Nicole Ballard, born January 21, 1992, passed away January 6, 2025. She brought light and laughter into the world with a sharp sense of humor, sassy spirit, and deep love for Jesus.

Her vibrant personality and unwavering faith touched the hearts of all who knew her and will leave an irreplaceable void in our lives. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." – Psalms 116:15
