MONTROSE — Jennifer Suzanne Omer, age 38, of Montrose, Colo. passed away Thursday morning, July 16, 2009 at Hospice Care Center in Grand Junction, Colo. 

Jennifer was born Oct. 14, 1970 in Richmond, Va. She attended Hollins University, where she was on the equestrian and swim teams. Jennifer later obtained her degree as a licensed veterinary technician, and dedicated her career to working with animals. 

An incredible, loving mother, she always went above and beyond for her children. She was the ultimate horse show/ski racing mom, cheering on her kids at horse arenas and ski slopes across Colorado. A dynamic personality, she displayed the highest level of character and grace, which was evident during her battle with cancer.

" As another friend of Jennifer's from Earlysville, my deepest sympathy goes out to her family. She was a superb vet tech, a wonderful co-worker, and a great friend. She was funny and compassionate and fierce in her love for her family. I mourn her loss, but it was my good fortune to have known her. I will hold her bright spirit in my heart forever. "

" I knew Jen from her years working in Earlysville. She was always so vibrant and full of life, and beautiful both inside and out. I know she loved her family very much.
It's one of life's tragedies that she was taken from them and her many friends who loved her much too soon.
Rest in Peace Jen. Wherever you are I'm sure your spirit will brighten it as much as losing it has darkened ours for now.May the memories of you and your many wonderful acts and sense of humor, bring comfort and smiles again all around. "
