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.
