Jennifer met and married Alvin McCoy on May 25, 2005. They shared 16 years of love, and companionship. Jennifer was introduced to God at an early age from attending her grandparents, Rolla and Essie Humphrey’s church, Humphrey Temple Church of God in Christ. As an adult she accepted Christ while under the leadership of Reverend Frank Selkirk and later joined Mount Pleasant Baptist Church where she remained immersed in her Christian community until her death. Jennifer returned to her heavenly home on July 25, 2021 after a valiant and hard fought battle with breast cancer. Jennifer’s devotion to her family and her firm belief in God was a source of support in her struggle and ultimately her peace.
