Jennifer (Jen) Marie Moran, 50, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Jennifer was born in Red Bank, New Jersey on January 30, 1975 to Vincent and Jacqueline May Moran. 

Jennifer was a beloved daughter, sister and friend who had a special way of connecting with others. Her personality was honest to the core, she was unapologetically herself and never sugarcoated her thoughts or feelings. Her blunt humor, colorful language and fearless personality were impossible to ignore and impossible not to love. She laughed loudly and lived life on her own terms. Whether she was cracking a joke, speaking her mind or standing her ground. Those who knew her knew exactly who she was and everyone loved her. 

Jennifer enjoyed working, most recently at Panera Bread and made friends with her co-workers and customers. Outside of work, she found joy in watching Bluey and Frozen, revisiting her favorite episodes and songs, and spent much of her time coloring while drinking her favorite tea. These simple pleasures brought her calm and happiness. Her presence was powerful, her spirit unforgettable and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. 

Jennifer is survived by father Vincent and brother Sean in Leonardo, New Jersey. She was predeceased by her mother Jacqueline Moran, grandfather Jackson Couse and grandmother Rita M. Couse.
