We are saddened to announce the passing of Jennifer Santana, who left this world on February 8th, 2026, at the age of 48, in her place of residence in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She was born on August 29th, 1977, to her loving parents John and Maria Santana, along with siblings Lisa Rivera, John Paul Santana, & Shelly Callegari.

Jennifer was a proud alumna of Central High School, where she made lifelong friends and cherished memories. She resided in Reynosa, MX with partner Susana Valdez and in her free time, she enjoyed indulging in her hobbies, which included listening to music, dancing, and breeding adorable Pug puppies.

While Jennifer did not have any children of her own, she poured her love and attention into her nephews & niece whenever she came to visit family & friends. When she wasn't visiting she had her four-legged fur babies, who brought her immeasurable joy and companionship, including her last Pug puppy named JR. She will be remembered for her kind heart, infectious smile, fabulous dance skills, and unwavering love for those around her.

Although she may be gone, Jennifer's spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Rest in peace, dear Jennifer. You will be deeply missed.
