Obituary of Jennifer Perine

On Monday, March 2, 2015, we lost a Teacher, Best Friend, Wife, Mother and Aunt, Jennifer Perine. To all who knew her, she was Jen, loved by everyone who knew her. She left us way too early, but while here for her short 51 years, Jen impacted so many lives in so many ways. As a teacher, Jen's positive influence and mentoring impacted all of her students. She was a best friend to everyone who was blessed and lucky enough to call her the same. Jen did have a sister, Cathy McNally Bennett, although not blood related, was as close as any two sisters could be! Although separated by miles Jen loved her three brothers, David, Eric and John. Jen raised a beautiful and strong daughter, Rachel, to be one of the finest, thoughtful young ladies that you will ever meet. She is a testament to how Jen lived her life. She will be remembered as Aunt Jenny to all of her nieces and nephews whom she adored. Her OBX family, Chris, Cathy, Steve, Lori, Tim, Karen, Russ, and Ellen, with whom she spent the happiest 15 summers (and a few winters) will have the memories forever. Her husband, Doug (Dougie), her best friend, the love of her life, with whom she spent the last 25 years making him very happy and creating a lifetime of wonderful memories. Jen is predeceased by her parents Donald and Barbara Ensign. God speed Jen!! Kenny Chesney's " Ole Blue Chair" is waiting. Calling hours will be held from 4 –7 PM Friday at Wright-Beard Funeral Home, 9 Lincoln Ave. Cortland NY. At Jen's request there will be no funeral service.
