Jennifer Voiner
February 16, 1977 — April 5, 2019
Jennifer Grace Voiner, 42, of Bryn Mawr, PA, passed away April 5, 2019.
Born February 16, 1977 in Long Island, NY, she was the daughter of the John Terry and Janis (nee Westfall) Grace.
Jeni graduated from Ursinus College in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology. She went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Work where she earned a Master's degree in 2001. It was while at Penn that she met the love of her life, Jonathan Voiner, whom she married in 2004. After graduating, she worked with troubled kids and families in the Philadelphia School District. She later earned a Master's degree in Education from Drexel University.
Since her first child, Lily, was born in December of 2008, she became the most amazing mother in the world and realized her true calling. She was very active in the Radnor Elementary School PTO and the numerous activities that the children participated in. Her lovely personality and dedication to the children have helped shape them into the wonderful people they are.
Jeni had a profound love of music. Some of her favorite memories were spending time with her friends taking in live music. She played viola in the University of Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra from 1999-2008. This afforded her the opportunity to travel across the world to China and Hong Kong. For the last eight years, she has been a member of the Main Line Symphony Orchestra, recently serving as secretary of the organization. She brought joy and happiness to all through her orchestra concerts.
Jeni loved people and always considered the feelings and needs of others. She had the ability to make everyone feel at ease. When talking with her, you felt as if you were the only person in the room. She could talk to, feel comfortable with, and relate to people from all walks of life. Through focusing on the happiness of others, the positivity was returned to her and allowed her perpetual happiness.
She was one with the outdoors. Through high school and early adulthood she worked as a lifeguard at the pools and beaches of Long Island. She loved the mountains and skiing. She enjoyed hiking and camping at the wondrous National and State Parks of our fine country.
She was the beloved wife of Dr. Jonathan L. Voiner; loving mother of Lily, Jackson, Tyler, and Quinn; and dear sister of John Grace (Linda) and Christopher Grace (Mara).
