Jennifer Lockett, Portland, OR—Jennifer Lockett passed away unexpectedly on October 3rd, leaving her family and friends in deep sorrow. Known for her warmth and dedication, Jennifer had been a devoted caregiver to her husband, who has been battling stage 4 liver cancer for the past ten months.
The Lockett family finds themselves in a difficult situation, as Jennifer did not maintain life insurance. Her daughter, Nikelia Ross, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help with the funeral expenses and to ensure that Jennifer’s final wish of being laid to rest beside her mother is honored. In addition, the funds will support her husband by covering rent and bills for a few months as he navigates both his health and grief.
Jennifer and her husband had been married for 45 years, with their anniversary and her husband’s birthday approaching on October 15th. They had looked forward to celebrating this milestone together, but Jennifer’s sudden passing has left this cherished moment unrealized.
Community members have already begun to rally around the family. A GoFundMe page, organized by Nikelia Ross, has seen an outpouring of support. Donations are steadily coming in, with Craig Keller contributing $200, alongside many others offering heartfelt donations. Anonymous contributors have given amounts ranging from $25 to $100, and Dijenaire Frazier generously donated $50. Jocelyn Deenonthescene Martindale shared her grief and urged others to donate, writing on Facebook, "My bestfriend and her family needs comfort in this time of need. A beautiful soul gained her wings."
The love and compassion shown by Jennifer’s friends and family are a testament to the impact she had on those around her. We extend our deepest condolences to the Lockett family during this incredibly challenging time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Jennifer. May you rest in peace, and may your family find the strength they need to carry on.
