It is with heavy hearts that we share news of the sudden passing of our beloved mother, Jennifer Lascala.

Jennifer was a loving mother to us and a dedicated community servant. In her work at Mary’s Place, she helped many local residents in their times of greatest need–assisting them in moving towards safety and stable housing. Her absence leaves a profound void in our lives and will reverberate throughout the Mary’s Place community.

As we grieve this shocking and unexpected loss, we also face the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. We have created this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of funeral services, cremation, and related expenses, helping us to honor our mom’s life and legacy.

Your contribution—in any amount—will mean the world to our family during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Please also consider sharing this page in your social media network.

Thank you so very much for your love, support, and compassion.

With gratitude,


Jakob and Kaitlyn Lascala
