She was Born April 17, 1946 in Cornwall, England to Barbara (Stone) & Vernon Lykins. Jennifer was always very proud of her British heritage and enjoyed tea and scones. Jennifer married Kenneth L. Miles and they were active members of Hillcrest Baptist Church. They adopted Melissa and Eric to complete their family. Kenneth lost his battle with cancer in 1982. Jennifer met the second love of her life, Dr. Mark B. Woodward, DVM and they were married in 1986 and became Nana and Papa to 8 wonderful grandchildren. Jennifer loved creating special holiday memories for her family; her yeast rolls, reading the Nativity Story, Christmas crackers and loved watching her grandchildren open gifts.
