Jennifer Joan Saijo-Milholland

Jennifer Joan Saijo-Milholland was born on January 27, 1976 in Boise Idaho and unexpectedly passed away on June 18, 2023 at the age of 47.  She is survived by her husband, Darin Milholland and her son Kevin, parents Dennis (Amy) Saijo, Linda (Larry) Yergler, brother Hank (Mandi) Yergler, sisters Amanda Theissen, Sheena and Taryn Saijo. Also, nephews Peyton Saijo, Topper and Truett Yergler.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, the Fosters (Lt Col James O and Barbara) and the Saijo’s (George and Marge).

Jennifer loved spending time with family and friends and was always up for an adventure. She was at home on the water and loved boating, water skiing, floating the river and was a fantastic swimmer. Jennifer especially enjoyed camping, riding horses and Friday night skiing at Silver Mountain with friends.  She loved animals often bringing home stray dogs and kittens. 

Jennifer was generous and compassionate almost to a fault, loyal to her family and friends and loved life in general.  She had a contagious laugh, a great sense of humor and was great fun to be around.

Family and friends are invited to remember the kind, generous and beautiful person that was Jennifer on Saturday, July 29, 11:00 AM at Real Life Ministries in Pinehurst.  Please come and share your memories and say goodbye.
