Jennifer W. Johnston, 47, of Palmyra, Va., died suddenly on December 18, 2022, in the comfort of her own home.

Born on February 27, 1975, in Charlottesville, Va., she was the daughter of Wilbert and Joyce Wingfield. She was preceded in death by her mother, Joyce Wingfield.

Jennifer went through Albemarle County schools and was accepted to attend Virginia Tech, from which she graduated in December of 1998. She was a secretary for First Christian Church, and eventually was hired as the deputy clerk for the Albemarle County School Board. Later on in her career, she was hired as the clerk of the Albemarle County School Board, a role which she held until her death. She was a loving and devoted mother, who enjoyed shopping with her girls, and having long car concerts singing to her favorite songs, some of which were "Drip" by the Migos and Cardi B, and "Bodak Yellow," which she loved to dance to. She also loved the outdoors and the smell of a campfire.
