In Memory of Jennifer Cooper
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Auburn team member, Jennifer Cooper, who passed away tragically on November 18, 2025. Her servant heart and gentle spirit blessed everyone she met. We don’t understand but we do know that God is in this story.
In lieu of flowers, her family invites those who feel led to give a gift to StoryTellers Live in honor of Jennifer’s life. All gifts given in Jennifer’s memory will be used to further the mission she cared about deeply—creating spaces where women hear real stories of the hope found in Jesus and are transformed from religion to relationship.

More about Jennifer
Jennifer was a beloved wife, mother, friend, and faithful follower of Jesus. Her life was marked by joy, generosity, and a deep desire to serve others. From her early years in Memphis to her time at Auburn University and later through her leadership at Gigi’s Cupcakes, she consistently poured herself out for those around her—mentoring, encouraging, and sharing the hope of Christ everywhere she went.
She loved her family fiercely, served her church wholeheartedly, and recently invested her gifts here at StoryTellers Live. Jennifer was passionate about helping women share stories of God’s faithfulness, often reminding us that “joy is happiness not based on circumstances.”
Jennifer loved and believed that “one day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will be someone else’s survival guide” (Brené Brown).
To honor Jennifer’s life and legacy, we are committed to continuing the work she cared so deeply about—creating spaces where women hear real stories of the hope found in Jesus and are transformed from religion to relationship.
Though she will be deeply missed, Jennifer’s legacy of joy, compassion, and unwavering faith will continue to shine through her family, her community, and the countless lives she touched.
