OBITUARIES

Jennifer Elizabeth Cohen, 39

07/01/2023

POWNAL, Vt. — Jennifer Elizabeth Cohen, 39, of Pownal, VT, died July 1, 2023. She was born May 17, 1984 in North Adams, MA

Jennifer graduated from Mt. Greylock Regional High School class of 2002 and attended MCLA. In addition to formally working at many local retail establishments; Jen most recently was employed at Atlantis Equipment of Stephentown, NY with her boyfriend, Brad Schroeter. Jen took pride in her work with Brad’s family. She was so excited and proud to be working with them.

Jennifer had the smile and laughter to light up the world. Her kind heart was felt by all she touched while here on this earth. She loved being with her friends and living a life that was full of music and dance. She found comfort in the sounds and vibration of live music. Jen loved to jump in any crowd to dance till the sun came up.

As a young child she would wake up with a bright glowing smile that lit her mother’s heart with joy each and every day. She loved her mom so much and gave the best hugs every time she came around. She had a special bond with both of her sisters. That special bond could be heard echoing through the Berkshire Mountains as a beautiful song that will continue to reach many lifetimes.

As a teenager Jen was a spitfire soul and loved to get together with friends. She was hilarious and those who knew her would laugh for hours at her “Jen-isms”, as her sisters and friends would describe them. It was always a great time if Jen was there. She stays with us all as a light through these wonderful memories we keep of her.

She is survived by her mother Gwendolyn Cariddi, stepfather Guy Cariddi, stepbrother Josh Cariddi, sisters Sarah Cohen and Becky Cohen, brother in law Nick DeBenedetto and her nephew and niece Noah and Avah Debenedetto with whom she held a very special bond. In addition to many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Jennifer was pre-deceased by her paternal grandparents; Milton and Dora Cohen and maternal grandparents Frank and Marjorie Rynkowski.

Gwen, I'm so heartbroken for you and your family. I got to know Jen a little bit over the course of the year before I moved out of the area. Always a bright smile and sincere greeting. And she always remembered a little tidbit from previous conversations. The little things that mean a lot. She was genuine. And I'm grateful I got to know her, if only for a short time. Prayers to your family. I'm thinking of you all.
