Jennifer was born on Easter Day, April 1, 1956 in Bismarck, to Walter & Sadie Wurm. She graduated from Bismarck High School in Bismarck in May 1974. She married Erlen Isaak in Bismarck on September 6, 1974.

Jennifer was the most loving and caring person you could ever hope to meet, always putting others’ needs ahead of her own. Throughout her lifetime, you could find her seeking out special gifts for her loved ones and special friends. Even in her declining health, she still had to make it known to others how special they were to her. Her love for animals was also very apparent. She owned several dogs and cats throughout her lifetime and made contributions to support animals in need.

Jennifer worked for various businesses in her lifetime. Those included: Dairy Queen, Bill’s Husky Truck stop, Kmart and Specialized Cleaning & Restoration. Her last employer was Sanford Health in Bismarck where she ultimately retired from due to her declining health.

 Blessed to have shared her life are her husband, Erlen; her children, Karoline and Christopher; her mom, Sadie Schilling; one sister, Margo (Wayne) Eisenbeis; four brothers-in-law, Ronnie (Sherry), Terry, Leon, and Larry; a sister-in-law, Rosemary (Dave) Nelson; aunts, Eva Schulz, Barbara Schulz, Berta Anstrom and Eldie (Marvin) Preszler; an uncle, Marvin Schulz; several cousins; nieces and nephews and many dear friends.

Jennifer was met in heaven by her father, Walter; mother and father-in-law, Norman and Tillie Isaak; her grandparents, John and Carolina (Schlect) Schulz and Delbert and Myrtle (Feltheim) Wurm, a sister-in-law, many aunts, uncles and cousins.

In lieu of plants and flowers memorials are preferred to the Central Dakota Humane Society, Mandan or Furry Friends Rockin Rescue, Bismarck.

Jennifer, the world got darker the day you left us, but we promise to live our lives every day working to make it a little brighter until we all meet again.
