of Subiaco, AR
March 18, 1952 - March 11, 2026
Jennifer Marie Kaufman of Subiaco, Arkansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on March 11th, 2026 at the age of 73. She was born on March 18th, 1952 in San Francisco, California. She married Ron Kaufman in 1973, and together they shared 53 wonderful years. Jennifer's greatest joys were being a devoted wife, mother, Nana to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and being a Sunday school teacher. Jennifer loved spending her time playing golf with her girlfriends, traveling the world, and going on lunch dates. She took delight in helping Ron with the cattle and crops, loved to fish, and devoted countless hours to spending time with her family and friends.
She is survived by her loving husband, Ron Kaufman; children: Melissa Kaufman-O'Connor of Little Rock, Justin Kaufman (Dorissa) of McGehee, Julia Kaufman of Russellville, A.J. Kaufman (Stephanie) of Sherwood, and Damian Kaufman of Conway; eleven grandchildren, Christian Kaufman (Julia), Ayden Kaufman (Justin), Payton O'Connor (Melissa), Mary Claire O'Connor (Melissa), Garrett O'Connor (Melissa), Ashlyn Kaufman (Justin), Everett Clay (Julia), Karleigh Kaufman (A.J.), Anna Kaufman (Justin), Adrian Kaufman (A.J.), and Bennett Kaufman (A.J.), and two great-grandchildren, Tate Kaufman (Christian) and Elliot Belin (Ashlyn).
Jennifer will be remembered for her strong Catholic faith, outgoing personality, OCD tendencies, being an excellent cook, and her special gift of uniquely connecting and showing her love to all.
Honorary pallbearers: Christian, Payton, Garrett, Everett, Adrian, Bennett, Tate, and Elliot.
Jennifer's funeral Mass will be held at Saint Benedict's Church at Subiaco Abbey on Tuesday, March 17th, 2026 at 10:00 A.M.
As she would always say, ''Nana's kitchen is officially closed.''

In my mind she was from California. I may be remembering that incorrectly. But, she was a mystery to me. But, always cool even though we weren't ever around each other that much. I'm sure sorry. But, you'll still see her everywhere.

Ron, I'm so sorry to read of Jennifer's death. I didn't know her but it sounds as if she was so much more than a wife. She was truly your partner throughout a large part of your life. Condolences to you and your family.
