With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jennifer “Jenna” Lorraine Marie Olise, a vibrant soul who touched the lives of everyone around her with passion, strength, and unwavering love.
Jennifer is predeceased by her beloved mother, Donna McGraw. She leaves behind her brother, Randy Olise, her sister Destiney Olise (Jason Restemayer). She will also be deeply missed by her cousins Shaun, Laura, Gavin, and Kayla Gunness; Laurie, Eddie, Brayden, and Nick Gentile; as well as Wayne, Chris, Danny, Debbie, Billy, and Barb McGraw.
Jennifer shared her life and heart with her loving partner, Connor Goodwin, and her best friend, Sierra Ried, who stood by her through every high and low.
Jennifer was a rare light in this world—a woman of deep reflection and constant growth. She believed in bettering herself and inspiring the people she loved to do the same. She led by example, showing resilience in the face of life’s challenges and refusing to let hardship define her story.
She felt everything deeply—whether it was laughter that filled the room, tears that needed to be shed, or moments of pure joy. Jennifer lived with her whole heart, never afraid to express exactly how she felt. Her high moral standards guided her through life, standing firm in what she believed was right and just, and fiercely protecting those values. Jennifer leaves behind a legacy of strength, authenticity, and love. She wanted nothing more than to see the people in her life thrive, to grow, and to live fully—just as she always tried to do. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the honor of knowing and loving her.
Friends and family are invited to gather at Haskett Funeral Home, 456 Main Street South, EXETER on Friday, March 14th for words of remembrance at 2 PM, followed by celebration of Jennifer’s life until 5 PM.

I still miss you every day. The days that hurt the most are so unexpected; it’s every time I change my oil like you taught me because we didn’t need a man, it’s watching the flowers come up again in the garden we planted, it’s every time the Friends theme song plays and we don’t get to clap in unison, it’s “we’re the only white people here”, “uber-flowing”, and crispy bodies by the door. It’s not any easier the second year without you now, it probably won’t ever get easier. And I think that speaks to the impact you had on my life. Just know I’m often thinking of you and I’m laughing as often as I’m crying. Love you lots and I have so much to tell you when I see you again.

Jennifer and I were best friends for many years, she was the godmother to my son and even though we had a falling out I’ve held love for her in my heart and have always wished for our friendship to be reconciled. Even though it wasn’t and she departed too soon I’ll always hold you in my heart forever as one of my best friends and a person who shaped me into the independent woman I am today. I love you forever. Paige.

I don’t know how I can think about Jennifer, my niece, being gone. I remember when you were young, whenever I visited, you always wanted to come to Montreal with me. I will miss you. I pray your soul will rest in God, your Maker.
Aunty Sarah.
