Jennifer Fatzinger

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jennifer Fatzinger, who left this world on February 8, 2025, at the age of 74, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished grandmother, a beloved sister, a dear friend, and a proud new great-grandmother. Born on April 11, 1950, in Mount Vernon, New York, to her parents Fred and Tina Marino, she lived a life filled with love, creativity, and unwavering dedication to those she held dear. She was a woman of grace and strength, always offering kindness, wisdom, and warmth to those around her. Jennifer’s career began as an Office Assistant in both New York and Georgia before she moved to Florida’s Treasure Coast to be closer to her parents, who had relocated from New York to Jensen Beach. Inspired by their shared love of fashion, she opened two clothing stores—Ali-Jen Fashions and Fashions for Less. After meeting her husband, Ron, the two ventured into the insurance business, working side by side for several years. However, her passion for design never wavered. What started as a small part-time endeavor soon blossomed into a full-time business in furniture and home decor. With her creative flair and keen eye for beauty, she established furniture stores in Stuart, FL (Treasure Coast Collectibles); Charleston, SC(Magnolia Home Furnishings); and Hendersonville, NC (Outlet on Kanuga Bend).Despite her many professional achievements, Jennifer’s greatest joy in life was her family. She was a gifted cook who took great pleasure in hosting holidays, birthdays, and family gatherings, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and love. She enjoyed reading, shopping, traveling, and spending time by the beach or pool. Always eager to learn something new, she explored hobbies such as knitting, needlepoint, jewelry design, and painting. Beyond her creative talents, Jenn had an innate ability to make any space feel warm and beautiful—not just through decor but through the love and light she brought into every moment. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Ron Fatzinger; her brother, Jerry Marino; her three children, Allison Rozek, Jodi Woodbine, and Ron Fatzinger Jr.; her three grandchildren, Dylan Rozek, Jordan Woodbine, and Jonah Woodbine; her great-grandson, Kyrie Woodbine; and herbeloved fur baby, Eva Marie. She will also be deeply missed by a circle of family and friends who will forever be inspired by her kindness, strength, and generosity. Jenn's legacy lives on in the hearts of those she touched and in the beauty she created in the world.
