Jennifer Landon

Thoughts and prayers to the family of Jennifer Landon. She ran such a great race, fought the good fight and lived a life that inspired many, including yours truly. Heaven got a new angel.

LANDON, JENNIFER LEE MAY - age 43, October 14, 1966 - November 29, 2009. She lived a wonderful life almost four years after being diagnosed with melanoma in January 2006. Please be aware of the early signs of melanoma as it can be caught early and treated. Jennifer's most important mission was being involved in the lives of her family and friends. Many people were positively influenced by her caring and helpful ways. Jennifer was a graduate of East Tennessee State University and has a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee and is also an LCSW. She was very active in Church Street UMC and enjoyed participating in the Crossroads Sunday School Class, the Stephen Ministry, and a variety of other ministries. She also enjoyed being involved in various school organizations for her children. Jennifer was preceded in death by her father, John C. May. She is survived by her husband Rick; daughters, Meg, 14 and Molly, 12; mother, Sharon May; brother, Jeff May and wife Tamera; in-laws, Dick and Joan Landon; sisters-in-law, Kim Anthony and Lori Cason; brother-in-law, Michael Landon and wife Cheryl; nieces, Emily May and Alexandra Anthony; nephews, Tyler and Ryan McMillan; uncle and aunt, Phil & Kris Wilcox, Holly Springs, NC; cousins, Scott Wilcox and wife Megan of Key West, FL and Matt Wilcox of Ohio, and Andrew Wilcox and wife Stephanie of Holly Springs, NC.
