Jennifer Lynn Birchett

The Community mourns as Heaven gained an Angel. On May 2, 2016 we lost a daughter, mother, fiancé, and friend. Jennifer Lynn Birchett was born September 20, 1971 in Chicago, Illinois to Dave and Geri Federighi. She graduated from Milpitas High School in California and received a Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Phoenix. Jennifer came to Shawnee nearly 20 years ago where she raised her family and worked as a Community Health Specialist for Oklahoma State Department of Health serving Pottawatomie, Seminole, Hughes, and Okfuskee Counties. For the last 11 years, she poured herself into the communities she served. Organizing and volunteering at events, serving on coalition committees and doing everything she could to make the community she loved a better place. With a servant’s heart, she dedicated herself and her time to many causes set before her. In 2014, she was awarded the, County Health Department Employee of the Year. Her infectious laugh is forever etched in the minds of all those who loved her dearly. She was a fiercely loyal friend who showed love and kindness even in the most trying of times. Jennifer was gifted at just loving people. She loved dancing, snow skiing, taking care of her family and pets. Her love for all things was never more evident than in her love for her team. The Chicago Bears will truly miss their biggest fan and so will we. She was preceded in death by her son, Nicholas Birchett, her grandparents, aunts and uncles. Jennifer is survived by her daughter, Melanie Birchett; Step Daughter Paige Birchett; fiancé, Scott Warnock; Parents, Dave and Geri Federighi; Brother, David Federighi and his wife Christina; Sister, Amy States and her husband, Kyle; all of Shawnee and several nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 AM Friday May 6, at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 632 N. Kickapoo St. Shawnee, Oklahoma. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery.
