Jennifer Michelle Micheli

Jennifer Michelle Farnish Micheli, lovingly known as Jenni, passed into the presence of her Savior on December 4, 2025, after fighting incredibly hard and winning her 4 year battle with Leukemia. She was 46 years old.

Jenni was a woman of remarkable strength, unwavering courage, and deep love. Strong, bold, fearless, and genuine, she lived her life with authenticity and purpose. She was cheerful, compassionate, generous, determined, loyal, endlessly funny, and fiercely protective of those she loved. She never failed to use her voice to defend and protect those who were wronged or hurt around her.

She was truly the best wife, the best mother, and the very best friend one could ask for. Being loved by Jenni was an absolute privilege. She was an extraordinary person we should all aspire to be more like.

For four years, Jenni waged war against Cancer, with faith that only grew stronger. What began as resilience became unshakable trust in Jesus, and she clung to that faith with grace and bravery until she got to Heaven’s gates. We are confident that the moment she came face-to-face with her Savior, Jesus, she heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Jenni is survived by her devoted husband, Matt Micheli, and her beloved daughter, Adelyn Micheli, who was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment.

Her father, John Farnish; brother and sister in law, J.P. and Lindsey Farnish, nieces Kaley and Hadley Farnish; and many friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Farnish and her Grandmother Lorene Phillips.

Jenni’s accomplishments were many. In high school, she played an integral role on the Bowie Silver Stars, helping the team advance to nationals. Professionally, she excelled at Edward Jones, where she helped lead her branch to #1 in customer satisfaction and into the top-performing branches company-wide, earning several awards in a short tenure.

Yet, above all else, Jenni considered her greatest achievement the creation and raising of her daughter, Adelyn, who reflects so many of her mother’s beautiful traits.

Jenni truly changed the world while she was here. Jenni loved deeply and lived fully. She treasured time with family and friends, traveling, especially to the mountains and among tall trees, pizza and movie nights with Matt and Adelyn, and helping others in any way she could, even while enduring her own fight.

She had a special love for Christmas, decorating earlier each year, delighting most in seeing the wonder and excitement on her daughter’s face.

Her heart for service was evident in her volunteer work with Light Work 316, Inc. and the Humane Society, where she served alongside Adelyn. Even in her hardest seasons, Jenni remained focused on lifting others.

In a card Jenni once sent to her sister in law, Lindsey, she wrote words that now reflect her own journey:

“To all who mourn… He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning… They will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for His own glory.”

Jenni now stands redeemed, whole, and at peace, her illness exchanged for health, her mourning turned to joy. Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched, the love she gave, and the faith she so boldly lived.

She is deeply loved. She is profoundly missed. And she will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 1:30 PM at Lux Chapel, where family and friends will gather to honor Jenni’s life, faith, and legacy, with a reception immediately following at Freiheit Country Store.

In honor of the joy and love Jenni brought to the world the family encourages attire of bright colors, for the celebration, especially teal, Jenni’s favorite color.

In lieu of flowers, donations to help support Matt and Adelyn, during this devastating time are gratefully appreciated. Gifts can be made in person or via Venmo @Matt-Micheli-1
