SARATOGA SPRINGS — Jennifer Bess Warner, loving mother of Brett Nicholls and a compassionate friend, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Dec. 7, after an accidental fall in her home.
A Washington, D.C. native, she went to The Madeira School of McLean, Virginia, where they instilled in her their motto “function in disaster, finish in style,” and she forever lived by those words.
Jennifer first came to Saratoga Springs in 1975 and attended Skidmore College, graduating in 1979 with a degree in geology. After working across much of North America, she returned to Saratoga in 1988 with a vision and determination to start another beautiful chapter in her life.
A skilled hydro-geologist at Nova Consulting of Minneapolis, she was very proud to be a mother in the professional world. Jennifer was admired by many for her strength, inner radiance and love for art and culture.
A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17 at the Presbyterian-New England Congregational Church, 24 Circular St., Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. Donations in her memory may be made to the food pantry at the church.
Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes of 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs 584-5373.
