Jennifer Lynn Simpson-Chalmers

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jennifer Lynn Simpson-Chalmers on August 30th, 2024, at the age of 46. Jennifer was born on March 19th, 1978, to Patricia Simpson and John McKenna.

Jennifer met the love of her life and beloved husband, Terry Chalmers at 15 years old. Jennifer was known for being unapologetically herself, embracing life with a vibrant spirit that could light up any room. Her love for those around her was boundless, always finding ways to uplift and bring joy to others. She had a remarkable talent for making people laugh and creating an atmosphere filled with exuberance and infectious humor, never letting her own struggles dim her light. Her unique presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know her. 

Predeceased by her grandpa, David Elwood (Al), grandma, Patricia Simpson (Nin), father, John Mckenna, and her brother-in-law, Darrell Chalmers. Jennifer leaves behind her husband, Terry Chalmers, her mother, Patricia Simpson, her stepfather, Anthony Backhouse, her mother-in-law, Wendy Chalmers, her son, Quinn Chalmers, her daughter, Mackenna Chalmers, her aunt, Jannel Simpson, her cousins, Justin Simpson, Michael Newell, and Tommy Newell, her nephew, Chase Chalmers, her niece, Avery Chalmers, her son in law, Kyle Price, her close childhood friend, Jaime Todd, and many more family and friends whose lives Jennifer touched. Her departure leaves an unfillable void in their lives, but she lives forever in their hearts.

A celebration of life was held on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, at her mother’s house, accompanied by close friends and family. 

Donations in Jennifer’s honour can be made to The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
