It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jennifer Lynne “Jenni” Miner of Windsor, Ontario — a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, faithful friend, and lifelong caregiver. Jenni’s extraordinary compassion, dedication, and faith left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Jenni built a remarkable career as a paramedic with Essex-Windsor EMS, serving the community not merely as a job, but as a calling. In her most recent role as a Community Paramedic, she provided care to vulnerable residents, particularly seniors, forming deep and genuine connections. She saw beyond the immediate need to the person, the story, and the circumstance — always bringing empathy, patience, and dignity to those she served. Her colleagues, patients, and the wider community will forever remember her as a guiding light in moments of crisis.
Jenni’s devotion extended far beyond her professional life. She was a loving and loyal daughter to Brian and Dawn Miner, sharing a bond full of laughter, love, and treasured memories — including a memorable train journey to Vancouver with her mother. She was a devoted sister to Michael, Kelly, and Steve Miner and an adoring aunt to her nieces and nephews, celebrating their successes and offering support, wisdom, and love at every step. Her cherished friendships, including those with Jennifer Westlake, Patti Dubois, Grace Morneau, Krista Hillier, and Zakia Abouzeeni, reflected her ability to make every friend feel valued and deeply known.
Faith was central to Jenni’s life. As a member of Riverside Baptist Church and formerly of SCBC Church, she lived her Christian beliefs through service, prayer, and mission work, including impactful trips to Africa and Jerusalem. Her life exemplified faith in action — a witness of courage, joy, and selfless love.
At home, Jenni adored her fur companions, Edna and the late Oscar, exemplifying her tender heart and capacity for devotion. She was honest, authentic, and fiercely loyal — a friend and caregiver who left an indelible impact on everyone she touched.
Visitation will take place Thursday from 3:00–5:00 p.m. and 7:00–9:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life on Friday at 11:00 a.m. at Families First South Windsor, with burial at Victoria Memorial Gardens. Donations in her memory may be made to Riverside Baptist Church or a charity of your choice. Jenni Miner’s legacy of love, faith, and service will forever inspire those who knew her.
