July 13, 1976 – Feb. 9, 2015
Jennifer Joyce Majors, 38, of Sweet Home died Feb. 9, 2015.
She was born July 13, 1976 in Boise, Idaho, to Guy and Cindy (Hecht) Bowman.
She attended various schools in the Boise area before meeting her future husband, who whisked her away to western Oregon. At 19 she moved to Bellfountain and became a permanent attendee of the Oregon Country Fair.
She skipped around the mid-Willamette Valley for a few years and collected her GED from L.B.C.C. to show her kids she could do it and they could too.
She married Allen Majors on Sept. 9, 1999 at 3:33 p.m. in Bellfountain Park, nine miles from the 99 mile marker on Highway 99.
In November 2004 the family moved to Mrs. Majors’ “dream town” of Sweet Home, eventually buying property and settling in a permanent home in 2009.
Mrs. Majors had been a parent advocate for Head-Start preschool program and often seen helping the breakfast crowd in the Hawthorne Elementary School cafeteria. “Mrs. Jennifer” was very well liked by the students and facility. She loved collecting books, WWE and Beaver Football, but not as much as she loved her family.
She survived for 22 years with HIV to be the cornerstone of her home and to care for all who relied on her, family and friends alike. To say she will be missed is an understatement.
Mrs. Majors is survived by her husband, Allen Keith Majors of Sweet Home; sons Andrew Bowman of Albany and Sarcon Majors of Sweet Home; daughter Baillie Majors of Sweet Home; sisters Tiffany Bowman of Sweet Home and Rhianon Floyd of Boise, Idaho; brother Sean Bowman of Boise, Idaho; one grandson; mother Cindy Floyd of Nampa, Idaho; father Guy Bowman of Salem; niece Rayleen Bowman of Sweet Home; uncle and aunt Gary and Diane Hecht of LaPine; great-aunt Barbara Rock of Portland; and a small assortment of cousins.
She was preceded in death by her aunt, Barbara Young; grandfather Biff Hecht; great-uncle Bob Rock; grandpa Ray Linton; and her ‘mama’ grandma, Kathleen Linton.
A Celebration of Life was held Feb. 15 at the family home on Long Street in Sweet Home.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
