Jennifer LeRiche-Juzkiw's Obituary
Jennifer LeRiche-Juzkiw, 55, of Fort Myers, passed away peacefully at her residence on November 13, 2025. Formerly of St. Louis, Missouri, she made Fort Myers her home in 1987 and filled the years that followed with creativity, kindness, and a deep love for her family and animals.
Born January 4, 1970, in St. Louis, Jennifer was the cherished daughter of Harold and Donna (Reuter) LeRiche. From a young age she embraced the arts, especially ballet, and dancing remained one of her greatest joys. She later developed a passion for yoga and shared her life with numerous dogs and cats, each one holding a special place in her heart.
Jennifer most recently worked at The T-Shirt Place on Sanibel Island, a job she treasured not only for the community it offered but also because it was where she met the love of her life. She and her husband, John Juzkiw, shared 24 beautiful years together.
She is survived by her devoted husband, John; her father, Harold LeRiche of Cape Coral; her mother, Donna LeRiche of Fort Myers; and her siblings: Raymond (Teresa) Tibbs of Troy, MO; Michael (Shelly) Davis of Pioneer, OH; Brian (Rachel) LeRiche of Douglasville, GA; Theresa LeRiche of Ocala, FL; and Katherine LeRiche of Cape Coral, FL. She will also be remembered fondly by extended family, friends, coworkers, and all whose lives she touched.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 12:00 PM (noon) at Fort Myers Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 1589 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers, FL 33907. The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00 AM until the time of service. A celebration of Jennifer’s life will follow in the Colonial Family Center at Fort Myers Memorial Gardens.
