Jennifer A. Wilcox

June 23, 1952 - June 17, 2017

Jennifer left our world and hearts June 17, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Portland June 23, 1952 to Willis and Patricia West – the 4th of 7 children. Her early years were spent in Portland’s west hills. The family moved to a farm in Tigard when she was 8 years old where she had a very active life – swimming, 4-H with horses, rally squad, homecoming queen, graduating from Tigard High School in 1970. College years were spent at O.S.U. and O.C. E. (Western Oregon State). She married Robert E. (Bob) Wilcox in 1976 and they purchased their first and only home in Tigard in 1977. Two children Benjamin and Emily were born and raised in that Tigard home. After raising 3 children (that includes Bob), Jennifer started her own business, Lending Hand in the late 1980’s by helping senior citizens for 22 years. Her clients became her very close friends. In 2009, Jennifer moved to Newberg, Oregon where she finally began her career in art – her life’s true calling. She was dubbed “Master Painter” by her artistic peers, being featured in numerous shows throughout Yamhill and Clackamas Counties. Next of kin include husband Robert, son Benjamin West, daughter Emily Kate, sisters; Judy Butler (Peter Fitzgerald), Mary Logsdon (David), brothers; Clark West (Kris), Craig West ( Kenna), Joe West (Carrie), John West (Julie), aunt Nancy Kreutz, in-laws; Mollie and Don Stewart and numerous nephews and nieces. Family suggests donations in her name to Providence Hospice. A very special celebration of life will be forthcoming.
