Jenifer Eelin Aitken 1962-2023

A service of thanksgiving for the extraordinary gifts Jeni brought to all she touched will be held on Saturday, July 22, at Glebe St. James United Church - 650 Lyon Street South in Ottawa at 11:00 am. The service will be followed by a reception in the Church, one that she considered a second home, and to which she gave selflessly and with grace. Here is a link to the full text of the obituary from the family. 


For those who are unable to attend in person but want to join in the celebration of our dear Jeni, a live stream will be available and can be watched from this link. A recorded version of the service can be found at the same link after the services has ended.

 

If desired, we know Jeni would be touched by contributions to the Glebe St. James outreach fund, or a charity that means something to you.
