JENNIFER NEEDHAM

She was born in Steubenville, OH, on December 6, 1981, the daughter of Lori (Scott) Henderson of Northfield, NJ, and Donald (Nana) Flinn of Galloway, NJ. She was the maternal grandchild of the late William and Angeline Needham of Steubenville and paternal grandchild of Loretta Cochrun and her late husband, Robert Cochrun, of Wintersville, OH.

Jennifer spent her school years and early adult life in the South Jersey area before moving to Las Vegas where she worked for a variety of modeling agencies and operated her own spray tanning business. Jennifer’s spirit was adventurous and compassionate. She loved travelling, extreme sports, singing, dancing and felt at home on the Vegas Strip. An avid lover of all animals, she donated her time and talent and drove donation support for a variety of animal-focused charities and causes.

Left in admiration and love are her daughter, Nikolette, her sisters, Kelly Flinn and Megan Flinn, and nephew Justin Flinn of Northfield, NJ, as well as aunt Cindy (John) Ordille of Brigantine, NJ; uncle Dan (Marcia) Needham of Scarborough, ME; and uncle Tom (Melanie) Needham of Fort Mill, SC. Her memory will also be cherished by many friends, family and her six cousins, Elliot, Gabrielle, Tommy, Lucas, Emmy and Addie.

True to her giving nature, her signature hair was donated to Locks of Love, providing confidence and normalcy to children suffering hair loss due to medical conditions.

A private service and interment will be held at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Steubenville at the convenience of the family.

Memorial contributions may be made in Jennifer’s name to the Thomas and Lucas Ordille Fund, PO Box 363, Brigantine, NJ 08203.
