d: 04/19/2025, Provo, Utah Service: May 4, 2025, 11 am - 3 pm, Old City Park OBITUARY It is with great pain and sorrow that we announce the passing of Jennifer Anne Rodocker, who died on April 19, 2025, at 4:44 pm. Jennifer was born on August 10, 1976, in Sacramento, California, at the University of California Davis Medical Center. She was born to her mother Kay Frances Knouff and her father Charlie Clint Rodocker. She moved from Sacramento to Texas during childhood until her family finally settled in Moab, Utah, where she graduated from Grand County High School. She made many lifelong friends during this time and went on so many exciting, wonderful adventures and then in her 20’s had her first daughter Ayden. Later on, she would end up falling for & marrying the boy who lived down the street when she was growing up, aka the boy next door Dylan Beck. They would have a son together and raise a wonderful family. You might even know Jennifer from her many years working at Woody's Tavern where everyone who knew her would tell you how amazing she was. Not just a kind person but strong and full of wit, her energy touched many. Jennifer was the embodiment of a selfless person. Even if you didn't know her you could feel this overwhelming sense of acceptance and light when in her presence. Her mother would tell you while growing up what a wonderful and gentle child she was, never complaining, always so content. Jen would be kind to people no matter how they were towards her. If you needed something done, you could count on Jen. If you were going through a hard time, Jen knew just what to say to make you feel better. She always fought for what she believed in and for the people she met in her life. Jennifer was and will always be a wonderful mother. She made sure her children felt loved & let them know that life isn't always fair, but it's how you choose to look at it that makes it all worth living. She was full of wisdom and grace. Jen had a big heart everyone would tell you that it was a gift, and in the end, it was the thing that took her from us. After being diagnosed with heart failure in 2020 she was given only six months to live, but she rarely listened to doctors or authority and decided to live life on her own terms. She was a fighter living another five years, and regardless of the hand she was dealt, kept her head held high refusing to live as if she were sick. We will miss her strength and her love most of all. Jennifer is survived by her children, Ayden Hill, Brecken Beck and Krystal Beck; mother, Kay Knouff; one grandchild, Tallulah Tippit; and her husband, Dylan Beck. A Memorial will be held on May 4, 2025, from 11am-3pm at Old City Park if you would like to come and celebrate her most extraordinary life with us. Please bring your own seating if needed and any photos or stories you may have. Friends and family are invited to share tributes online at www.SpanishValleyMortuary.com TRIBUTES She was unlike anyone I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will be so missed by so many that needed her on a daily basis. She was a rock for others when she had so much of her own life to deal with. She never judged anyone with malice. And there will always be a void in all of our lives just knowing that she is not going to be walking in that door at any moment. Simply put, she was and will always be a beautiful woman. My heart goes out to all of her children and family...- Kyla Twitchell PHOTO GALLERY
