For guest book please visit www.buonfi - glio.com Joan (Robitaille) Santa Anna J ennifer Marie Barrett, born on April 12, 1976, in Lynn, MA, to her loving parents John and Carol Barrett of Revere. Cherished mother to Adianna Barrett. Dear sister to Sharon Wastaferro and her husband Ronald from Derry, NH, and Cynthia Barrett of Salem NH. Adored aunt to Victoria Wastaferro. Also survived by many other cousins and relatives. Jennifer and her sisters were raised by their loving, doting parents John and Carol. Family was everything to her and growing up had the love for the outdoors, animals and travel. Jennifer was an amazing kind and generous person. Always willing to help anyone she could even if that meant putting herself last. Jennifer was determined to succeed in every way. She fi rmly believed that success was earned with focus, hard work and dedication. Jennifer was a graduate of Revere High School and obtained a college degree in business from North Shore Community College. She had worked her way up to Project Management at Schneider Electrics and enjoyed a very successful career in that fi eld. Jennifer lived a simple life. She loved her family fi rst, her cats Otto and Munchie, her home, and she focused on living life to the fullest. Jennifer loved to travel. Took many trips and wanted to see the world. Jennifer worked hard for everything she had, but she also knew how important it was to take time to spend with family and friends. Jennifer was taken from us far too young. None of us will soon accept that this was her time. I believe that she taught us all valuable life lessons. I believe that she taught us we are in control of our own success. I believe she taught us that nothing is impossible. Most importantly, I believe she taught us to all live and laugh like tomorrow is not promised.
