Jennifer Lynn Johnson, 47, of Waverly passed away December 9, 2022. Born April 7, 1975, in Lincoln, NE to Henry and Lois (Pape) Dettmer.

Jennifer was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Waverly and was active in Choose Courage Foundation.

Jenni loved her family and friends with her whole heart, she loved to bring a smile to everyone’s faces with her silliness and kind loving nature. Jenni’s love for her boys and husband was endless, she loved spending time together with them during family game nights, movie nights or on family vacations. Jenni’s sisters all had a special bond of love that only sisters can share, her love for her Dad and Mom was beyond words. Jenni loved flowers, crafting, her pets, animals of all shapes and sizes. Jenni had a special gift to spread joy wherever she happened to be, she always strived to help people in need and never did so to be in the spotlight. Jenni was a strong Christian believer whose faith guided her life. Jenni’s memory will be carried on for generations to come.
