Coddington, Jennifer Jo
Jennifer Jo Coddington, age
50, departed this Earth for the arms of her loving Savior, Jesus Christ, on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 surrounded by her family. Jennifer was born with many difficulties including Down Syndrome. Her health was poor but little by little she was strengthened. When Jenny was 10 years old she publicly confessed Jesus as her Lord and Savior and was baptized in the Holy Spirit years later. She graduated from Manzano High School in 1987 and was in the Special Olympics for about 20 years. She worked for Parents Reaching Out for 25 years, Alta Mira for 30 years, and volunteered at Carrie Tingley Hospital for five years. She was active in the Friendship Club at Hope Evangelical Free Church which was a great blessing. Jenny was an active member of Monterrey Baptist Church where she had many more friends, loved the Bible, and loved her offering envelopes. Jenny loved eating out at Hannah and Nate’s, she loved her doctors, nurses, and caregivers, she loved her family, but most of all she loved her Jesus! Truly, Jenny loved everyone she met and always told them how beautiful, gorgeous, and handsome they were. It had nothing to do with flattery, she really saw everyone as a loving "friend."
Jenny is survived by her parents, Neil and Betty Jo Coddington; sister, Julie Pederson and family; brothers, Jeffrey Paul Coddington and family, Jeremy Coddington and family, and Wilbur Koger and family; 12 nephews and nieces; seven great-nephews and great-nieces; and numerous loving friends in Albuquerque and across the United States.
A viewing will be held on Friday, June 16, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at FRENCH Lomas. A Funeral Service will be led by Jenny’s beloved Pastor Claude Cone on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at Monterey Baptist Church, 12500 Lomas Blvd, across from Manzano High School. Jenny will be buried alongside her grandparents in Valdosta, GA at a later date. Jenny’s life verse is Philippians 4:13. Please visit our online guestbook for Jenny at www.FrenchFunerals.com
