Jul 19, 1957 - Oct 18, 2011
Jennifer Lynn Backus went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, October 18, 2011. She left this world peacefully (breast cancer) at the age of 54 with her husband, John, and daughter, Katrina, at her bedside.
Jennifer was a faithful, devoted servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Any task she undertook was completed with excellence and devotion to detail. Bible Study Fellowship welcomed her in several leading and teaching positions for 15 years. She was a treasured partner alongside John and Katrina in various ministries, including the homeschooling of Katrina. Jennifer's love for God and His Word allowed His grace and mercy to touch many lives, with results reaching into eternity.
She will be sorely missed by John and Katrina, as well as her mother, Sherry, sister Audra, church family and friends. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." (Matt. 25:21).
A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 1:30 pm at the old Apple Valley Inn location, home to Life Point Baptist Church, in Apple Valley. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the building fund of Life Point Baptist Church.

Many years have passed since I took Jennifer to the 1975 Claremont High School Prom. I remember Jennifer as a rather shy, smart, kind hearted lady. Always a good student, Jennifer was well liked by those she associated with. Loosing my wife to Breast Cancer in 2005, sadly, I can relate to the Backus family loss. I wish the Backus family well as they mourn the loss of their family member and my friend from many years ago.
