Jennifer Lyn Rothe-Zink, beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2026, in Yucaipa, California. She was born on February 14, 1972, in Redlands, California, to Judy Lisonbee-Gillman of Mesa, Arizona, and LeRoy Gillman of Southgate, California.

Jennifer graduated from high school in 1990 and went on to attend Utah Valley University. She dedicated much of her working life to caring for children, working as a childcare aide. Her caring nature and love for children were a meaningful part of who she was.

In 2020, Jennifer married Aaron Zink in Las Vegas, Nevada. Above all else, Jennifer treasured her daughters, Isabella, Emmalynn, and Karlynne Rothe. Her girls were the center of her world, and her love for them was evident in everything she did.

Jennifer had a unique and joyful personality. Purple was her favorite color and remained a lifelong favorite. She had a special fondness for gnomes and owls, little things that brought her happiness and reflected her fun-loving spirit.

Jennifer is survived by her husband, Aaron Zink; her daughters, Isabella, Emmalynn, and Karlynne Rothe; her mother, Judy Lisonbee-Gillman; and her siblings, Kristy Klatt, Steven Gillman, and Denise Artukovich. She was preceded in death by her father, LeRoy Gillman.

Jennifer will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew and loved her. Her greatest legacy will be the love she gave to her daughters and family, and the memories they will carry with them always.

May she rest in peace, surrounded forever by the love she gave so freely to others.
