Jennifer Ann Dailey

Jennifer Ann Dailey of Lawrence, Kansas, passed away on Saturday, July 27th, 2024.  Born at RAF Lakenheath Air Base, England, on September 5th, 1977, to Matt and Linda Dailey, Jennifer was destined to be a world-traveler.  After living in England and Germany for several years, she moved with her parents and older brother Jason to the United States.

Jennifer was a gifted vocalist, graduating from DuPont Manual High School’s Youth Performing Arts program in 1995 in Louisville, Kentucky.  She subsequently received a scholarship to Western Kentucky University where she furthered her vocal studies and training.  She was a well-loved member of the Christ Church United Methodist Chancel Choir in Louisville.

Jennifer worked as a pharmacy technician for Walgreens, and in her leisure time enjoyed music, writing, reading, the SIMS, Taylor Swift, and Chiefs football!  She doted on her two nieces, Mina and Shea Dailey, and as a co-writer on the next great American novel with her sister-in-law Wende.

Jennifer will always be lovingly remembered for her huge heart and being a champion for the underdog and animals.  She was proudly supportive and inclusive of everyone, and was also known by her family for being talented, kind, whip-smart, quick-witted, and loving.  As a granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, sister-in-law, aunt, and cherished daughter, she was pure joy and the “go-to” person for a sympathetic ear, encouragement, and a guaranteed smile.

Jennifer is survived by her parents, brother Jason (Wende) Dailey, and nieces Mina and Shea.

Visitation will be 1:00-2:00 pm, Saturday, August 10th, 2024, at Warren McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence, Kansas, followed by a Memorial Service at 2:00 pm at the same location.  Family would like to keep the attire casual.
