Jennifer Mae Hostutler

Jennifer Mae Ball Hostutler departed this life on November 8, 2026. She was born in Cambridge, Ohio to her very proud parents, James and Lynn ( McWilliams) Ball. 

Jennifer lived a Christian life and had deep faith. She was assistant manager at Wendy’s, where she spent the last 21 years. She took great pride in being able to put a smile on a sad face, brighten a dark day, give comfort and strength to anyone and everyone. Her customers and coworkers will miss her greatly. If you knew her, You knew she did not know a stranger. She was not afraid to joke, poke fun, or chit chat with anyone regardless of how she was feeling. She was sweet, sassy, spunky, and special. She is already missed more than words can say. 

Jennifer loved spending time with her bestest friend and companion Dave Roseblossom, “her Dave”, enjoying nature, finding new adventures and spending time together. She loved crafting, hobby lobbying with her mom, porch swinging with her sister, bantering and goofing around with her sons. She had many fun times with daughter-n-law. Her grandchildren would light her heart up and was so proud of them. She was a simple gal who enjoyed simple things, which is what made her so special! 

She will be joining those who have already gone: her father, James L Ball (who she has missed greatly), her grandparents, James E & Edna “Mae” Ball, Charles “Donald” & Meriam McWilliams. Her aunts: Kathy, Lori, Sharon and Carol and uncles Mike and Doug. Her fiancé Rick Daniels and her beloved cat Peaches. 

Left to grieve her loss and celebrate her life are: Her mother, Lynn P. Ball, sister Roxanna (Chuck)Figgins, sons: Charles “Tyler” Ball & Hunter (Andria) Hostutler all of Cambridge, Ohio. Brother James “JL” (Kelly) Ball of Newark, Ohio. Special friend Dave Roseblossom of Pleasant City, Ohio. Grandchildren: Daphne McCulley, Zoey, Jayde and Scarlett Ball, Jennifer Ward, and Theo Hostutler all of Cambridge, Ohio. Her Aunt Donna Berkshire of Urichsville. Her Pals Misty and Zach Frasure.
