Consider Jennifer Poff Koski (you may have known her as Jen), who completed a hearty life on January 21, 2020. Her love is carried by her six children, husband, sister, three brothers, and an extended family of dear friends and re Read Obituary
I was sad to hear that Jennifer lost her battle with cancer. Though from what I have read it's seems she had a great life and lived it to the fullest! I remember her very well as we went to school together for 10 years and were in choir together for 6. I remember the choir trips to Canada and San Francisco we took in high school. We all had a lot of fun together as a choir.
I have such dear memories of Jennifer. I moved to Beaverton in 1971 with my family, and quickly bonded with the Poff family. Jen was the darling youngest of the Poffs it was such a difficult time when her mother, Joan, went through the same battle with cancer. I know she is now free of cancer and with her parents.My love and prayers are with her family,

I have fond memories of "Sister Koski" as I knew her. She was my Young Women's president. I remember going to her house to do activities. I felt safe, loved, and not judged by her. She liked me for my awkward, troubled self. I love and appreciate her example, her kindness, and welcoming spirit. I am grateful to her family for supporting her as she led a bunch of wild dramatic girls. The time she took to do that holds a special place in my heart and impacted my life for the good. Love you, Sister Koski.
Jennifer was a dear unforgettable childhood friend!! I was in awe of her piano playing and have fun memories of riding our banana seat bikes around the block together! We both loved singing in chorus together at Vose and did two very memorable quartets - Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the Candy Man! We both loved Donny and Marie and Jennifer was one of the smiling-est friends I have ever known! I’m so thankful to have found her on Facebook as her quotes were always uplifting and inspiring!! She inspired an aqua and white guest bedroom in my house after seeing her beautiful post! Jennifer I will love and miss you and I know the love you showed so many will live on and multiply.
Jeffer had a love for words, and I find myself at a loss for them trying to express my heartbreak and my deep love for her. I married into this family and was so excited to get a little sister!! So many memories!! She was hilarious, smart, wise, devoted, faithful, beautiful inside and out, clever, full of love and life, talented in too many ways to count, gracious, classy, fun, wonderful to have long talks with, understanding, accepting, courageous and so much more. Indeed this world has lost some brightness with her passing, and heaven has gained a beautiful soul! I am certain that Mom and Dad were there to meet her. That brings me comfort. I am grateful to know that I will see her again. Love you so much Jeffer! -Stephanie
When I was about 10 years old i took a trip with my dad and Kate and my aunt Jennifer. I will always remember that trip because i was able to spend quality time with my amazing aunt. We all drive down to utah after my Aunt Jann’s wedding. I was so stocked to be able to miss school and go on a road trip. I’m so glad i was able to spend that time with her and my cousin. I’ll love her forever and i’m glad she’s not in pain anymore.
Jen was a sister of mine in Walla Walla First Ward. I knew her to be a vibrant bright light for many people. She joined me and a few other sisters in a book club, where we had book discussions. She was obviously super intelligent with a charitable heart. Her passing comes as a shock. Sending sincere condolences to her entire family and the abundance of friends she has...God Bless ~ Mary and Bud Ruther
Having grown up with Steve, I knew these guys as a young married couple. But living in different states, we only reconnected recently vacationing together. What an amazing person Jen is, we will miss her dearly, so sorry for this amazing family and dear friend.
Steve, all the kids, and Jen’s extended family, my heart goes out to each of you.
Jen had a beautiful, kind heart. When my daughter was pregnant and needed some things for her baby, Jen was more than happy to share, and was very generous to my daughter. I still have a bassinet she gave her. Many of my grandchildren have slept in it.
Jen always made me feel loved. She played the piano for me many times while I sang in Sacrament meeting. I always knew I could count on her for little ways to improve. I hope she knew how much I loved her.
Steve it is the hardest thing I have ever gone through to loose my sweet husband Clark. So my heart goes out to you. Just let others love you and cry with you. You will have lots of sad days. That is ok.
God bless your family and she will forever be in my heart too. ❤️
