Reflections

 Sitting on the bench watching the river go by.
Just sitting and thinking about you.
Trying to focus on happy memories of the things we did and the places we visited.

Violets

This is the first time your violets have bloomed, sorry you were not able to see it.
You had these for a while.

 

Take the trips

Take the trips.

Short trips, long trips,

24 hour trips, food trips, anything 

that consists of traveling and new experiences.

Jeni called them Adventures

Ocala Wetland Recharge Park

 After visiting Sholom Park I stopped by the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park. I walked the green gator loop trail. It was a little over a mile. I got my 10k steps in before lunch.

Sholom Park

 Went to Sholom Park this morning. We visited this park a couple of times and you liked walking the paths.

The Magnolia trees were blooming. I loved the smell of the one we had at the house in Spring Valley Township. Right by the door so coming and going it always smelled wonderful.

                                 

Micanopy FL

Jeni loved visiting Micanopy FL. A small town that had a few shops and a restaurant. We enjoyed going to the fall festival each year.

In 2024 she struggled to walk the entire event and in 2025 we were unable to attend.

She would have lived to see it as a movie set.

 

Clifton Mill

After delivering Jeni’s hope chest to Shery’s house I stoped at Clifton Mill.

I remember Christmas time when we would go to see the lights and decorations.

They had lights on the water wheel and all along the bank.

In Loving Memory

Jenifer L. (Stroup) Lansing

(May 24, 1964 – May 4, 2026) 

    Jenifer Lansing, 61, of Silver Springs, Florida passed away Monday, May 4th, 2026, at Hospice of Marion County in Ocala, Florida. She was born in Xenia, Ohio on May 24th, 1964, the daughter of James and Wilma (Boerner) Stroup. She volunteered with the Spring Valley Township Fire Department for 18 years and was a member of the Spring Valley Global Methodist Church.  

    She courageously battled cancer for four years with unwavering strength and grace and departed this world surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Throughout her journey, she demonstrated extraordinary bravery. Even in the face of illness, she continued to share laughter, wisdom, and encouragement, never allowing her circumstances to diminish her love for others. Her presence brought joy, and her absence leaves an irreplaceable void. 

    Jeni enjoyed traveling, hiking, camping, and being out in nature. The Great Smokey Mountains were her favorite travel destinations. While living in Silver Springs, Florida, she called our weekend trips adventures. 

    Jeni was preceded in death by her father, James Stroup, her mother Wilma Stroup and her brother Samuel Stroup. She is survived by her husband, L Travis Lansing, whom she married on February 19th, 1994, and her sister Shery (Billy) Baker. 

    Jeni’s banking and mortgage career started at Bellbrook Community Bank, spanned forty years, and ended at Chase Bank in Xenia. 

    The family will hold a private memorial service in the Smokey Mountains at their convenience. 

    In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Hospice of Marion County, Ocala, Florida or to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition. 

Rest in peace, you are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
