Jennifer R. Blyth

Jennifer Raquel Blyth was born on September 2, 1971 in Lexington, MO, to her loving parents, Mike & Sherry (Wyse) Blyth. She passed on April 23, 2023, at  NKC Hospital, at the age of 51 years.

Formerly of Orrick, she attended Orrick High School, graduating with the Class of 1989. She loved her classmates at Orrick High School, truly and enthusiastically. She was President of the Class of 1989, Student Council President, and Salutatorian of her class. A shining light of love, she has passed from the shadows of this earth into the starry heavens: received by the open arms of the Lord, and her family and friends gone before her.

Jenn-wren, Baby Duck, Jenn-quel, all favorite pet names, was a loving daughter, niece, cousin, and a wonderful, loyal, compassionate friend and nurse. She worked a short time for Randy Reed Motors in KC, the attended William Jewell College in Liberty, where she made more lifelong friends, graduating in 1996 with a BSN. She spend the last four months of her nursing clinical s at Harlaxton College in London, England, where she traveled Europe extensively. She began her nursing career at a clinic in Richmond for Dr. John Scowley. She worked in nursing at Research Hospital KC, MO; KU Med Center, Neurology KC, KS, and Thunderbird Neurology Center in Phoenix, AZ. She worked at NKC Hospital for 14+ years, in Pre-op, Post-op, Recovery and Pain Management Clinic. Her latest nursing career was at St. Luke's Medical Center, on the Plaza in Kansas City. She was a Care Coordinator- where she devotedly fought for all patients, as a patient advocate. Her last nursing was in the "Covid" unit in 2020, working tirelessly through the Pandemic. Jennifer touched and cared for countless patients in her care, truly an angel on Earth. Part of our hearts go with her in her heavenly journey, but we will meet again, God speed.

Jennifer loved her family and friends, her dogs- Railroad, Harley (after Harlaxton England), and Waylon (yes, Waylon Jennings Blyth), and our Lord. She loved all flowers, especially Hydrangeas and working outside in the yard. She loved jewelry, her "bling," crafting, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
