Jennifer Van Schyndel

Jennifer Rose Van Schyndel, age 42, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 3, 2025, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Jennifer passed at her home in the arms of her husband, Ben, surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, strength, and kindness.

Jenny married the love of her life, Ben, on August 15, 2008 at Bethany Lutheran Church in Kaukauna, and together they built a life full of joy, adventure, and deep love. Their winters were often spent in warm destinations, soaking up the sunshine and cherishing time together.

An avid gardener, Jenny found serenity among her flowers and took great joy in watching and feeding the birds in her yard. She had a special love for animals, especially her beloved dog and two cats, who brought her daily comfort and companionship.

Jenny was a lifelong reader who loved her visits to the library, often leaving with a stack of books and a smile. She cherished time with her family and friends, whether it was gathering for a Friday night fish fry and enjoying a Captain and Diet, or simply sharing laughter and stories. Her smile was ever-present—radiant, genuine, and contagious.

She lived her life with quiet strength and a heart full of love. Jenny was someone who made people feel seen and cared for, even during her own challenges. Her resilience and positivity were an inspiration to all who knew her.

Jenny’s spirit will continue to live on through the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely. Though she is no longer with us, her beautiful smile and the joy she brought to others will never be forgotten.

Jenny is survived by her loving husband, Ben Van Schyndel; her parents: Tony and Julie Roskom; in-laws: Don and Lori Van Schyndel; siblings: Craig (Melissa) Roskom, Travis Roskom, Emily (Chris) Roskom, and Ashlee Roskom; niece and goddaughter, Sarah Roskom; nephew, Ethan Roskom; brother-in-law, Nate Van Schyndel; grandmothers: Rose Schuh and Nancy Cummings; god son, Cody Schabo; special friend, Amy Coppus; and her fur babies: Lilly, Sully, and Mulligan. Jenny is further survived by many extended family members as well as many dear friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents: Roger and Sandy Roskom, James Schuh, and Glenn Cummings; as well as her cousins: Brock Jones and Matthew Raspotnik.

A celebration of Jenny’s life will be held on Sunday, July 20, 2025 at Countryside Golf Club, W726 Weiler Rd., Kaukauna, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. For online condolences, please visit www.verkuilenfh.com.
