Jennifer Lynn Byrnes

Jennifer Lynn Byrnes, 74, passed away Wednesday, June 10, 2020 in Show Low. She was born August 2, 1945 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the daughter of Merrill B. "Pete" Byrnes and Alama E. Minnix.

Growing up in Santa Fe, Jennifer would play with life-long friends on the streets of her neighborhood and help take care of her two brothers. Eventually Jennifer found her way to Tucson where she raised her son, Robert. Fifteen years ago, she relocated to the White Mountains to be close to her son’s family. Jennifer remained in Eagar being a friend and gramma to many.

Jennifer is survived by her son, Robert Summers, her grandsons, whom she loved and adored, Bowen Summers and Christopher Errico and her best friend of 73 years, Susie Castner and several cousins she was raised with.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Bernard and David Byrnes.

Jennifer’s wish was to have her ashes spread over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe.

At her request, no memorial service will be held.
