Jennifer L. Davies Barnard, 50, of Center Township, passed away on September 6th, 2025, at UPMC Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh after a long battle with an illness.

Jennifer was raised in Center Township (Stobo) and was a graduate of Center Area High School. She began her career at GNC in Leetsdale. It was there that she met the love of her life, David C. Barnard, Jr. The couple married in November of 1995 and shared a beautiful journey together until David’s passing on October 7th, 2019.

Jennifer later channeled her hardworking nature into the hospitality industry, serving as a waitress at several different restaurants at the Pittsburgh International Airport.

Family was the cornerstone of Jennifer’s world. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Ronald L. and Johanna L. Gillin Davies, her cherished husband, David, her brothers, Ronald D. Davies and David “Buck” Davies and her sister-in-law Debra Ann Davies. Her legacy continues through her loving children, Ian, Ryan, and Alexis Barnard, who will forever be inspired by her optimism and resilience. Jennifer is also survived by her siblings, Michael and Jimmy Davies, Lori (Walter) Reynolds, and Joni (John) Vetterly, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She and David relished the times spent watching cooking shows on the Food Network. She was a loyal Pittsburgh Penguins fan and her enthusiasm for her team was as steadfast as her support for her loved ones. She found solace in the beaches of St. Petersburg, Florida, where she vacationed.

Her artistic nature was another facet of her personality. Jennifer had the ability to draw and paint, capturing the beauty of the world as she saw it.

Jennifer’s journey through life was marked by her indomitable spirit. Even in the face of illness, she remained vigilant, never allowing it to dim her bright outlook. Those who knew her will remember Jennifer as the nicest person, one who uplifted others with her unwavering positivity.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, September 14th from 2-6 P.M. with a service to follow at the SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, who was in charge of her arrangements.
