Jennifer Ann Hanna, 43, burst into bats and moon dust on the 9th of July 2026.

She was born to Robert A. Hanna, Jr. and the late Mary M. Gray in December of 1982 in San Jose, California.

Jennifer was an exceptionally gifted student.  She graduated from Antioch Community High School in Antioch Illinois in 2000, with honors.  She studied Psychology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and graduated from Ashford University in 2010.

She met the love of her life Benedict Kaminski in 2003 and they began their life of adventures.  Including caring for their friends children and visiting restaurants that offered the most delicious food.  Through better and worse, they share a profound love that is envied by many and understood by few.

Jennifer was an amazing friend and confidant.  Bringing others joy through her countless creations was something she treasured.  She made the world a better place by simply existing.  She loved all things spooky and intriguing.  She was always up for a spirited discussion regarding contemporary political/societal topics.

She is survived by Ben, their two bat faced looking dogs Maggie and Slethla.  As well as the countless souls she influenced with her love and compassion.  Her father Robert A. Hanna, her stepmother Patricia Hanna, her brother Robert (Alicia), nieces Hailey and Olivia, and nephew Greyson Hanna, her brother Michael Hanna, as well as several cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins.  We can't forget to mention her maternal grandmother, Barbara Johnson.

She was preceded in death by her beloved paternal grandparents Robert A. Hanna, Sr. and Judith (nee:  Tefo) Hanna, her mother Mary M. Gray, and her uncle Joseph C. Hanna.

Jennifer was the greatest person I will ever know.  Our time here is limited, our love is not.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 29, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in Antioch, IL.  Local services are pending for some time in the fall.

Professional services entrusted to the care of Wojstrom Funeral Home & Crematory in Granite City, IL.
