OBITUARY

Jennifer Jeaneth Morán was born April 2nd, 1992 in Mixco, Guatemala to Leslie Ramirez and Alam Morán, and was immediately adored by her older sister Tiffany Morán Shults. When she was seven years old, she moved to the United States. She attended Hibbard Elementary, Albany Park Multicultural Academy, and Walter Payton College Prep, where she met many lifelong friends who know her as Jenny or Jenn. At DePaul University, she studied Communications. While balancing her own studies, Jennifer tutored students in math and literature and volunteered her time as a translator.

After graduating from DePaul University in 2014, she continued serving the community with her marketing work for Lady of Grace School. Jennifer then devoted her career to helping students and families receive a high-quality education through her work at Big Shoulders Fund.

After meeting in 2013, Jennifer married Corey Burrows in September of 2021 in front of friends and family, followed by a beautiful celebration with a never-empty dance floor. Throughout their relationship, Jennifer and Corey enjoyed playing games, vacations and adventures at the beach, hosting at their home, and cozy nights in.

Jennifer was always looking for thoughtful ways to celebrate her loved ones. She loved family parties, shopping and preparing for holidays with her mom, and sharing a good meal, especially if it had potatoes. She was the life of the party (especially if it had a theme) and filled spaces with her infectious laugh.

Jennifer also had a passion for live music, which often served as the catalyst for her deepest friendships; she saw countless bands, and often shared stories of meeting band members and screaming from the front of concert pits.

Jennifer, her mom, and Tiffany were an inseparable threesome. When you became friends with one of them, you were adopted into their family. In recent years, Jennifer’s proudest moments were as Tia Jenny to her nieces Marina, Luisa, Wren, and Lyla. She was always looking forward to her next visits and celebrating their milestones.

Jennifer passed on November 23, 2025, at age 33, surrounded by family and friends. She is survived by her husband Corey Burrows; mother Leslie Ramirez (Laverne); father Alam Morán (Aracely); sister Tiffany Morán Shults (Bill) and nieces Marina, Luisa, and Lyla Shults; Abuela Ana Amaya; Bisabuelo Anacleto Morán; father and mother-in-law Bill and Donna Burrows; sister-in law Kelsey Hulen (Jason) and niece Wren; brother-in-law Chris Burrows (Ashley), and many adored aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were also family. She was preceded in death by Bisabuela Candelaria Morán, Abuela (Mamá) Olga Morán, and Abuelo Alfonso Ramirez.

Jenn I miss you so much. Being with you at your apt watching those stupid game shows and stupid housewives shows. Laughing and arguing about the answers and the actions we just saw. Those days of me and you being together alone will be in my heart and mind forever.
Love Your Mom Laverne

From introducing me to So You Think You Can Dance, to my first concert seeing Cute is What We Aim For, to my first “club” experience at Zero Gravity, to being my first roommate in our very own apartment, I cannot even begin to describe the impact Jenn had in my life.

She was never too scared to dance, never to shy to sing, and had the most infectious laugh of anyone I know. If Just Dance got pulled up on the Wii, you KNEW it was gonna be a party. She always knew how to put a smile on your face, and scream singing Cute Without the ‘E’ at the top of our lungs whenever the time suited were moments that I will forever cherish.

There are so many memories, from wandering around Wicker Park and ending up at SubT instead of our school dance to see some local band and going to this random art show where people were playing instruments made of bikes to trying the Insanity workout together and laugh/crying because it was actually insane. We went through heartbreaks and newfound love and greys anatomy episodes and ghost adventures and parties and dances.

My memories of you and with you are a gift.

I had the privilege of working with Jennifer at Big Shoukders Fund for only a few months, but during that time it was obvious what a kind, gentle and exceptional person Jennifer was. I was deeply shocked and saddened to learn of her passing away. My heartfelt condolences go out to her husband, her parents, sister, great grandfather, grandmother and all her family and friends. May you all find comfort in the memories you hold in your hearts and the knowledge that she brightened the lives of all who were fortunate enough to have known her. May she rest in peace in God’s loving grace.

Every moment with Jennifer was a joy. Whether working at the Big Shoulders office, or carpooling to events from our apartments just blocks away on Greenleaf; Jennifer was so easy to be around. She could easily be found reminiscing about a Mexico trip with Corey or gushing about her nieces. Jennifer was beautiful inside and out and I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in her joyful memories. Sending love to you all.

I haven’t seen Jenny since high school. I was heart broken to hear this news. She was my classmate and partner in many French and math classes during our time at Payton. She was always happy, warm and a joy to be around. When I had tough days, she could sense it and always checked on me. She was just plain kind - a rarity to find among the sea of teenagers.

I’m so sorry Jenny. My heart breaks for your family - that I know you loved so much. You talked about them all the time. I know your kindness will live on through them.

Rest easy ❤️

She had such a warm, welcoming demeanor—kind to everyone and always willing to help the entire team.

I will forever cherish the memories I shared with her during our time together. I hope everyone can find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Prayers and blessings to all.❤️🌟
