Jennifer S. Leeper

d. August 31, 2013

Jennifer Leeper was promoted to angel early Saturday morning, August 31, 2013, though most who knew her would agree that she'd already achieved that status while still here on earth. Jennifer was a 1988 graduate of Wooster High School. She graduated with a B.A. of Psychology from Ohio University in 1192 and received her Gerontology Certificate in 1992. In 1993 Jennifer became a licensed Social Worker for the State of Ohio. As Director of Social Services at HCR ManorCare Barberton for the last 15 years, she touched the lives of countless residents and family members. She was a healer and helper, a salve for other's grief, even as her family and friends now grieve her passing. Jennifer was preceded in her death by her mother, Susan E. Leeper. She is survived by her father, Randall Leeper; her sister, Stephanie Leeper; her step brother, Michael Mitchell; and her life partner of 20 years, Matthew Birky. The pain of her absence is eclipsed by the light she brought to the world in her brief but beautiful life. We will miss you, but we know that the place that you travel to now will be better and brighter with you there. God speed, Jenni. We all love you so much. Jennifer was passionate about supporting the families and victims of Alzheimer's disease. She participated in many support groups over the years, helping families to understand and adjust to this terrible affliction. Any donations in her name should be directed to
