It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Jennifer Kruse, age 54, who passed away peacefully on August 30, 2023, surrounded by loved ones at the Ottawa Hospital after a courageous battle with bile duct cancer.
Jennifer was happiest when preparing a big meal for a house full of the people she loved. No matter how big the occasion, she was always up early in the kitchen preparing a meal from scratch. Her relentless drive to make sure everyone around her was happy, fed, and taken care of will never be forgotten. The love and compassion she showed towards her family and friends was also displayed during her many years as a nurse, where she took a great amount of pride in being able to care for others.
Jennifer will be deeply missed by her husband Denis, and her three children Cedric, Sacha, and Ella. She will also be missed by her dog Marty, who never left her side throughout her illness.
We would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to all the staff at the Ottawa Hospital who provided exceptional care to our beloved Jennifer. You truly ensured that she was treated with expertise and compassion, while providing support to our family in our most difficult times.
Friends and family are invited to her Celebration of Life at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa) on Saturday, September 9 beginning at 9:00am, Ceremony at 10:00am, followed by a reception.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made in her name to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation – Cancer Research.
