“Ma Ma, Grammy, Auntie, Fife,” Jennifer Ann Kostka, age 70, who loved “to the moon and back and then some,” died peacefully on Friday, Oct. 1, 2021, in Inver Grove Heights, Minn., surrounded by family. Her tenderness, compassion, and humility, even in the face of stage IV triple-negative breast cancer, graced anyone and everyone she encountered.

Jennifer was preceded in death by her parents, Billy and Alice Jasicki.

She is survived by her son, Zachary, and his wife, Tomomi Fujimaru; her granddaughter and “angel,” Eden Fujimaru Kostka; her sisters, Linda, Bonita “Bonnie,” and Annette “Su-Su” Jasicki; her sister-in-law, Jane Stevenson; her three nephews, Tyler, Luke, and Noah Effertz and their wives, Shannon, Madeline, and Danielle; and her three great-nephews, Elliot, Elijah, and Ezra.

Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at SS. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Weyerhaeuser with Fr. Papi Reddy Yeruva and Deacon Tom Fuhrmann celebrating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

Visitation will be from 10:30 AM until service time on Saturday at the church.
