Jennifer Luanne Martin

Born January 8, 1977 Jennifer was the beloved daughter of Anne (Lawrence) Foreman and the late Dennis Foreman.

She married Jason Martin on November 17, 2007.

Her love of 80’s rock music, especially poison and Bret Michaels led to her being involved with local rock band IN-KAHOOTZ for 10 years.

In addition to her father, she is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents; Joseph and Louise Lawrence and paternal grandparents; Donald Foreman and Florence Goshorn; and step-father-in-law, Dave Gottfried.

Jennifer loved planning get-togethers, cook outs, birthday parties, holiday celebrations and cookie days for family and friends. She especially enjoyed planning the itinerary for her family’s annual beach vacation.
